This is a review of another recording from Heruka which shows the music going for more of a modern and aggressive style of black metal and the album was originally released in 2018 and called "Deception's End" which was re-issued and re-mastered in 2024 and also consists of re-recorded tracks from theri 2005 ep "Leggenda".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as some death metal growls also being utilized at times.
The album also has its atmospheric moments while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Epic sounding keyboards can also be heard on a few songs along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also adds in some symphonic touches along with a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of choirs. A lot of the more current recordings also add in more brutality then what was presented on the ep tracks, spoken word parts and folk instruments can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover fantasy, introspection, surrealism and visionary themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heruka and if you are a f an of modern and aggressive black metal, you should check out this re-mastered version. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Auxim's Killing" "A Night of Agony" "The Thrr Entities" and "Deception's End". 8 out of 10.
