This is a review of another recording from Russia's Thanatomass which also is done in a very aggressive occult black metal style and this is a review of their 2019 ep "Darkest Conjurations" which will b e re-issued in August, 2022 by Nomad Snakepit Productions and consists of rehearsal bonus tracks.
A very distorted sound starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking, blast beats and war metal elements which also gives the music more of a raw feeling and the vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and bestial growls.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark, melodic and chaotic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also being heavily rooted in the mid 90's to early 2000's era, some of the riffing also mixes in influences from the first wave era and thrash metal, all of the music sticks to a heavier direction and the rehearsal tracks also bring in even more of a raw style.
On this recording Thanatomass continues their aggressive style of occult black metal f rom their previous release as well as getting more raw, brutal and expanding on the war metal elements and also keeping the thrash influences. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Rituals and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Thanatomass and if you are a fan of raw and aggressive occult black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Darkest Conjurations" and "Eschatonic Sacrifice". 8 out of 10.
