Demoncy are a band from the United States that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an old school, satanic and occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Black Star Gnosis" which will be released in December by Dark Descent Records.
Ritualistic synths and demonic voices 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 beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams and dark sounding melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing.
A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's era while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the riffing also shows influences of death along with some touches of doom metal in the slower sections of the tracks as well as the synths also making a return in certain sections of the recording.
On this recording Demoncy brings in a style of black metal that is very satanic and occult sounding in the early 90's tradition as well as keeping the same aggression the band has had on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Left Hand Path, Darkness and Unholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Demoncy and if you are a fan of old school, satanic and occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Star Gnosis" "De Mysterium Noctis" and "Cosmic Curse Expulsion". 8/5 out of 10.
