Suel are a duo from Germany that plays an old school form of occult black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Venomous Curse" which was released by Vendetta Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks while spoken word parts are also utilized at times. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, clear singing and growls can also be heard briefly and some of the tracks are also long and epic in length
Suel plays a style of occult black metal that is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era as well as adding in some modern touches to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cove r Alchemy, Occultism and the Spiritual Poisoning.
In my opinion Suel are a very great sounding old school occult black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Invisible Maze" "Aqua Tofana" and "Venomous Curse". 8 out of 10.
