Italy's Fordomth have returned with a new recording which shows the music going into a mixture of black, death and funeral doom metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Is, Qui Mortem Audit" which will be released in June by Auric Records.
A very fast and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats while the vocals also bring in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and dark sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while elements of funeral doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs. When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the songs more of a raw feeling as well as some clean playing also being added into certain sections of the recording.
At times the black metal screams also capture a very depressive edge along with one track also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts as well as the music also adding in a good mixture of both old school and modern influences. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Fordomth and if you are a fan of black, death and funeral doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Esse" and "Mors". 8 out of 10.
