Greece's Funeral Storm has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school form of occult black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Chthonic Invocations" which will be released on May 10th by Hells Headbangers Records.
Keyboards 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 black metal screams which mix both the first and second wave together while the music is heavily rooted in t he 90's era and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic yet old school style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets atmospheric sounding along with the keyboards also mixing in with some of the heavier sections of the songs, all of the drum beats are also programmed and ritualistic chants can also be heard briefly as well as the closing track also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars.
On this recording Funeral Storm goes for more of an atmospheric and old school form of black metal. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover Occultism and the Writings Of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Funeral Storm and if you are a fan of atmospheric and old school occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Behold The Dark" and "The Covenant of Old". 8 out of 10.
