France's Mutiilation have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very raw and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album Pandemonium of Eregores" which will be released on 2026 by Osmose Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. At times the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere along with the f aster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also being done in more of a melodic style. and the whole album sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Mutiilation take their style of black metal into more of a melodic direction without losing the aggression of previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death, darkness and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mutiilation and if you are a f an of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shadows Over The Valley" and "Haschischin Cage". 8 out of 10.
