Vigor Mortis are a solo project from Finland that plays a very atmospheric and progressive form of black metal with elements of shoegaze and this is a review of his self titled 2024 album which was released by Erie Records.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some clear vocals a few seconds while the music also gets very progressive sounding at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some whispers also being utilized briefly and grim black metal screams are also added into certain sections of the recording.
The album also has its atmospheric moments while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Keyboards are also added in some parts of the recording along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with a couple of songs also being instrumentals, elements of shoegaze can also be heard at times and one track also adds in a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover existentialism, esotericism, beingness and consciousness themes.
In my opinion Vigor Mortis are a very great sounding atmospheric and progressive black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mina Olen Monet" and "Kaunes katharsiksessa". 8 out of 10.
