Singapore's Companions Of Hellfire have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very more of an experimental and ritualistic style of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 album "Profane Rites Of Manifestation".
Synths start off the album and also adds in a very ritualistic atmosphere before adding in some drum beats, clear chants and grim black metal screams which also takes the music into a darker direction. Most of the songs also add in a more experimental and avant garde approach then the previous releases.
A lot of the tracks also sound very different from each other while also moving away from more traditional metal instruments. When percussions are utilized they also add in more of a ritualistic atmosphere along with the album also adding in a good amount of stringed and folk instruments.
Some of the drum beats also add in a touch of underground industrial as well as a couple of tracks also being very long and epic in length and spoken words can also be heard briefly and the music moves away from the raw and melodic style of previous releases. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Occultism, Rituals and Blasphemous themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Companions Of Hellfire and if you are a fan of experimental and ritualistic black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Manifestation Of The Black Plague" "Mystic Rites of Vengeance" "Trance of Doom" and "Arcane Rites Of Purifacation". 8 out of 10.
