Sothoris are a band from Poland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Domus Omnium Mortuorum" which will be released in October as a joint effort between Fetzner Death and AOG Records.
Field recordings start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Death metal growls can also be heard at times along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken words and clear singing.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffs they also give the album more of a raw feeling along with the solos and leads bringing in more of a 90's extreme metal style, clean playing can also be heard briefly and a couple of tracks are also long and epic in length.
On this recording Sothoris goes for more of a modern mixture of black and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover human wickedness and the spirits of the dead.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sothoris and if you are a fan of black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wieczornca" "Bylem Faustem' and "Pietno". 8 out of 10.
