Ukraine's solo project Raventale has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric, old school and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "CDXXII Thousand Years Of Crime And Murders" which was released by Ashen Dominion.
Acoustic guitars start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The recording also has its symphonic moments and the faster sections of the tracks also add in a great amount of blast beats.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the tremolo picking in the fast riffs also give the music more of a raw feeling. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
A lot of the recording is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era and when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as one track also adding in a brief use of spoken words, classical guitars are also added on the closing song which id also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover humanity's destructive legacy.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Raventale and if you are a fan of atmospheric, old school and symphonic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Deathmarch" and "Kali Yuga Code". 8 out of 10.
