Umbrio are a band from Chile that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Quintaesencia Nocturna" which was released by Vampyric Militant legions.
Nature sounds and synths start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the recording also has its atmospheric moments.
Clear singing can also be heard in certain sections of the album while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the music also mixes the darkness of the old school era with a more modern atmosphere, Gregorian chants are also added towards the end.
Umbrio plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, melodic and atmospheric sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover nature, forgotten rituals and darkness themes.
In my opinion Umbrio are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of t his musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "El vacio de una flama bajo el firmamento" and "Delirio del misticismo nocturno". 8 out of 10.
