This is the final review of a recoding from United Kingdom's solo project Despondent Moon which shows the music going for a raw and lo-fi mixture of black metal and dungeon synth and the album was released in 2021 by his Wounds and called "Enshrouded In Eternal Moonlight".
A dungeon synth orientated sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
At times the music also also gets very lo-fi sounding while also capturing the aggression of the old school era. The album also has its atmospheric moments along with the recording also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very raw yet melodic style when they are utilized, a couple of tracks are also instrumentals and one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing
On this recording Despondent Moon brings out a very atmospheric, raw and lo-fi mixture of black metal and dungeon synth. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, death, evil and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Despondent Moon and if you are a fan of atmospheric, raw and lo-fi black metal and dungeon synth, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Howling Of The Hollowed Hills" "Visions Of Candlelit Exhumation" and "The Affliction of An Astral Existence". 8 out of 10.
