Portugal's solo project Black Cilice has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw style of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Esoteric Atavism" which will be released in July by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very fast, raw and lo-fi sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Vocals a re mostly high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a good amount of dark sounding melodies. A lot of the music also shows an influence of the more underground 90's to early 2000's style which they also update for the more modern era along with all of the music also sticking to a heavier direction.
On this recording Black Cilice remains true to the raw and lo-fi style of black metal that he has established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism and Esotericism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Black Cilice and if you are a f an of raw and lo-fi black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMEDNED TRACKS INCLUDE "Channeling Old Power" and "Towards Transcendence". 8 out of 10.
