Australia's Temple Nightside have returned with a new album which continues the occult and ritualistic mixture of black and death metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2020 album "Pillars Of Damnation" which will b e released in August by Iron Bonehead Productions.
Dark yet melodic sounding guitar leads start off the album along with some slow doom metal style riffing a few seconds later. Grim black metal screams can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while the riffs also add in a great amount of dark sounding melodies and the solos also get chaotic sounding at times.
Bestial and cavernous death metal growls can also be heard at times while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. When whispered vocals are utilized they also give the music more of a ritualistic feeling along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
The riffs also capture the dark tone of 90's era black, death and doom metal as well as mixing it in with a more modern day aggression. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them, the closing track is also very long and epic in length and also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Necromancy, Mysticism and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Temple Nightside and if you are a fan of ritualistic and occult black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Contagion Of Heresy" "The Carrion Veil" and "Damnation". 8 out of 10.
