Mithras Crowned are a band from South Africa that plays a very aggressive form of black metal with elements of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Hymns Of The Hierophant".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and deep death metal growls while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark yet melodic style. A couple of synth interludes which also add in synths and throat singing before a couple of songs and the closing track is also very long and epic in length.
Mithras Crowned plays a musical style that takes black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the secret rites of Mithras.
In my opinion Mithras Crowned are a very great sounding mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ritual Madness" and "Non Serviam". 8 out of 10.
