Mortuary Drape are a band from Italy that has had music reviewed before in this zine and has a history that goes back to the 80's and plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Wisdom Vibration Repent" which will b e released in February by Peaceville Records.
Clean playing starts off the ep before going into a heavier musical direction while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 80's to early 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the slower sections of the songs also add in elements of doom metal. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to an old school style along with some touches of the first wave era also being added into the mid tempo sections of the tracks.
Hhen the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard along with one of the songs being a cover of Mercyful Fate's "Nightmare by Thy Name" which also adds in some clean vocals and when spoken word parts are utilized they also give the music more of a ritualistic feeling. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Black Magick and Necromancy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mortuary Drape and if you are a fan of old school occult black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In A Candle Flame" and "Where Everything Falls". 8 out of 10.
