Italy's Necrolust has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an occult and old school mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Mountain Of Madness" which was released by Art Inferna.
Drum beats start off the ep along with some heavy riffing a few seconds later which also gives the music more of a lo-fi atmosphere. Vocals are mostly demonic sounding black metal screams while the songs are also heavily rooted in the 90's era and dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic old school style while the keyboards when they are utilized also gives the music more of a horror movie atmosphere. Blast beats can also be heard in the faster sections of the songs which also add in a great amount of black metal elements along with the songs also adding a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the closing track also adds in some fast and raw tremolo picking.
On this recording Necrolust goes back to the early 90's era of black and death metal to create a sound of t heir own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover occultism, Sumerian Mythology, the writings of H.P Lovecraft, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Necrolust and if you are a fan of old school black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Embrace Of Death" and "Sumerian Rage". 8 out of 10.
