Temple Of Katharsis are a band from Greece that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Macabre Ritual" which will be released in August by Theogonia Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album along with some melodic guitar solos and leads a few seconds later. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the recording more of a r aw feeling.
The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. A lot of the music shows influences of the classic Swedish and Greek styles of the genre along with a good portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Temple Of Katharsis plays a style of black metal that is very satanic and heavily rooted in the classic European tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Anti-Religion, Death, Darkness and War themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Temple Of Katharsis and if you are a fan of old school and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Burning Flood Of Antichrist" "Inside The Medieval Crypt" and "Macabre Ritual". 8 out of 10.
