Sapientia ov Atlantis are a solo project from Sri Lanka that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an old school mixture of occult black and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2022 ep "Draught Of Light From Arullu".
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the ep along with some grim yet high pitched black metal screams a few seconds later. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark and melodic style while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody while death metal growls can also be heard at times. One track also introduces symphonic elements onto the recording but keeping the focus more on a heavier style along with all of the music sticking to either a slower or mid tempo musical direction and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard, spoken word parts are also added on the closing song briefly.
On this recording Sapienta ov Atlantis goes back to the early 90's era of occult black and death metal, The production sounds very raw and old school while t he lyrics cover Atlantean, Occultism, Demonology and Eastern Magick themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sapientia ov Atlantis and if you are a fan of old school occult black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wisdom Is Of Law To Us The Ancients" and "Summoning My Dukes of Hell". 8 out of 10.
