Chile's Invocation have returned with a new recording which continues the ritualistic style of black/death metal from previous releases and this is a review of their 2024 album "The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Posture)" which will be released in September by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very dark, heavy and brutal sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death emtal growls along with some evil sounding melodies in the guitar riffing and the fast tremolo picking in the guitar riffs also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are done in a very dark yet melodic style. Touches of doom/death metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs and the album also adds in a lot of old school South American black and death metal influences, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
On this recording Invocation remains true to ritualistic style of black/death metal from their previous releases. The production sounds very dark, raw and old school while the lyrics cover rituals, altered states, possession, witchcraft and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Invocation and if you are a fan of ritualistic black/death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Serpent Of Faardal" "Horn Of Colima" and "HYpnosis". 8 out of 10.
