This is a review of another recording from Netherlands's Deinonychus which shows them expanding on t heir suicidal mixture of black and doom metal and the album was originally released in 2002 and called "Monument" which was re-issued in 2022 by My Kingdom Music in 2022 as a part of the "Bleak & Vile" box set.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds later which also returns on later songs. Keyboards also mix in with the heavier sections of the music at times while some tracks also add in a good amount of spoken word parts and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Vocals are mostly done in a very angry and depressive black metal style while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom metal. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and some of the tracks are also long and epic in length.
Tortured cries are also added into certain sections of the album along with the music being very heavily rooted in dark metal, when clear vocals are utilized they are also done in more of a goth metal style and they also bring in a cover of Candlemass's "Ancient Dreams". The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Mythology themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Deinonychus and if you are a fan of suicidal black and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Salus Deceived" "Selek From Menes" "Arrival In Mesopotamia" and "Ascension - The 40th Day After Easter". 8 out of 10.
