Legatus are a band from Germany that plays a very old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Aus dem Schattenreich" which was released by Wolfmond Production.
Spoken word parts start off the ep 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 black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and the music is heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Synths can also be heard on all of the tracks which also adds in a symphonic touch 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 and one of the tracks is also long and epic in length, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
Legatus plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, melodic and atmospheric in the late 90's tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in German and cover darkness, sorrows and abyss themes.
In my opinion Legatus are a very great sounding atmospheric and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Reich der Schatten". 8 out of 10.
