Corpus Diavolis are a band from Fr4ance that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very esoteric form of satanic black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Elixiria Ekstasis" which will be released in March by Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions.
Dark soundscapes and synths start off the album before going into a heavier direction while ritualistic chants and clear avant garde style vocals can also be heard on a few tracks. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. High pitched black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the clean sections also giving the music more of a progressive feeling when they are utilzied. Spoken word parts are also added on some of the tracks, the vocals also have their grim moments and some of the songs are also very long and epic in length, folk instruments are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian and Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Corpus Diavolis and if you are a fan of esoteric satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Key To Luciferian Joy" "Vessel of Abysmal Luxury" and "Chalice of Fornication". 8/5 out of 10.
