Conjura are a band from Mexico that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Perpetua Tenebris".
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals a re mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody at times as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized, one of the songs is a keyboard orientated instrumental which also captures the atmosphere of a classic horror before returning back to a heavier direction.
Conjura plays a style of black metal that is very raw and old school in the 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Hatred, Blasphemy, Anti Christianity, Satanism, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion Conjura are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Under The Shadow Of Hatred" "Receiving The Black Wings Embrace" and "Duat Banishment Ritual". 8 out of 10.
