Searles Valley, California's solo project Chamber Of Mirrors has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw, atmospheric, melodic and old school form of occult black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Moonlight Decay" which was released by Drakkar Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
When synths are utilized they also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling while also adding in some symphonic touches. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the music also bringing in a lo-fi atmosphere at times, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and a couple of the tracks are also instrumentals.
On this recording Chamber of Mirrors brings in a very old school 90's approach to his atmospheric, melodic and raw style of occult black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Mythology and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is ano5ther great sounding recording from Chamber Of Mirrors and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and raw occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Heart" "Knights Of The Infernal Realm" and "Cloaked by The Shadows Of Night". 8 out of 10.
