Cruciatus Infernalis are a solo project from Austria that plays a raw mixture of black and death metal with some symphonic and dungeon synth elements and this is a review of his 2021 ep "Untot" which will be released in December by Kult und Kaos Productions.
Spoken word samples start off the album before going into a heavier and lo-fi musical direction. Symphonic elements can also be heard at times while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Touches of dungeon synth can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing.
All of the drum beats are programmed along with the music also adding in a great amount of death metal elements. A lot of the songs are also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics are written in German and cover hell, death and torture themes.
In my opinion Cruciatus Infernalis are a very great sounding raw and symphonic mixture of black and death metal with elements of dungeon synth and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Qualenmeer" "Untoten" AND "Vernictung". 8 OUT OF 10.
