Dusk Cult are a duo from Australia that plays a very melodic and aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 202 "Embrace The Lunar Age".
The sounds of night start off the album along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later before going into more of a heavier yet melodic musical direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams which also have their high pitched moments while the music also adds in a great amount of old school influences but keeps it modern at the same time. throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with t he guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the acoustic guitars also making a return on some of the later songs as well as one of the songs also introducing clean vocals onto the album, growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording, one is also an acoustic instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Moon Worship, Folklore, Cultism and The Night Sky.
In my opinion Dusk Cult are a very great sounding aggressive and melodic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Luminosity Ritual" "Night March" and "Eventide Persuasion". 8 out of 10.
