Dusk Cult are a band from Australia that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recordign plays a very melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Night Sky Revelations" which will b e released in July.
Thunder sounds start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while growls are also used at times and the songs also add in a lot of old school touches.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Keyboards can also be heard on a few songs along with one song also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars as well as the heavier riffing also bringing in a lot of melody, clear vocals are also added on a couple of tracks and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly towards the end.
On this recording Dusk Cult remain true to the melodic and old school style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Folklore, Cultism and The Night Sky.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dusk Cult and if you are a fan of melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Cloud Worship" "Ascent Of Mars" and "Fires In The Gloom". 8 out of 10.
