Rhode Island's Ancient Torment have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Follow The Echo Of Chaos" which will be released in August by Eternal Death.
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 along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and a lot of the songs are also very long and epic in length.
The album also adds in a lot of influences from the Finnish and Québécois bands mixed in with their own style while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Synths are also added in certain sections of the recording along with the music sticking to more of an old school direction, spoken words can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Ancient Torment plays a style of black metal that is very raw and very heavily rooted in the classic tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while t he lyrics cover the mysteries of death worship, the swirling depths of depravity, suffering an infernal release.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ancient Torment and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hanging From A Dead Star" and "Rotting Temperament". 8 out of 10.
