Poland's Christ Agony have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of black and dark metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Anthems" which will b e released in September by Deformeathing Production.
Dark soundscapes and acoustic gutiars start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are mostly black metal screams mixed in with a few death metal growls along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while one song also adds in a brief use of didgeridoo's. A lot of the album is very heavily rooted in the 90's era as well as being very modern at the same time, synths are also utilized at times, when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and choirs can also be heard briefly, most of the album also sticks to more of a slow or mid tempo direction.
On this recording Christ Agony update their dark and melodic style of black metal for the modern era. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Melancholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Christ Agony and if you are a fan of melodic black and dark metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Empire Of Twilight" and "Nocturnal Dominion". 8 out of 10.
