Ludus Umbrarum are a solo project from Serbia that plays a very raw, epic, atmospheric and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Reveria Umbrarum In Tenebris" which was released by Drakkar Productions.
Symphonic sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Spoken words can also be heard briefly while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few death metal growls while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Ludus Umbrarum plays a style of black metal that is very raw, epic, atmospheric and symphonic sounding in the classic tradition. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness themes.
In my opinion Ludus Umbrarum are a very great sounding raw, epic, atmospheric and symphonic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Through Night And Storm" "Shadows Embrace" and "Purgatory". 8 out of 10.
