Morcolac are a duo form Italy that plays a very old school and vampyric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "A Vampiir Is Born" which was released by Darker Than Black Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams.
The music also adds in a decent amount of 90's and early 2000's influences while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Keyboards can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the album more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also capturing the atmosphere of a classic horror film at times with the keyboards as well as each track also bringing in a different style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover vampirism themes.
In my opinion Morcolac are a very great sounding old school vampyric black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blackmoon Devourer (Unholy Terror Of Countrysides)" and "Fear the Sunlight". 8 out of 10.
