Zwielicht are a band from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very misanthropic and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their album "The Aphotic Embrace" which will be released in 2024 by Van Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album while ritualistic spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, angry shouts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as one song also being an instrumental and introducing acoustic guitars onto the album.
On this recording Zwielicht plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, modern, satanic and misanthropic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Misanthropy and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Zwielicht and if you are a fan of misanthropic and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Stench Of Rotten Deities" "Babalon" and "Twilight Temple". 8 out of 10.
