Odium Humani Generis are a band from Poland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very old school and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Medzyczas" which will be released on September 27th by Malignant Voices.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly depressive black metal screams.
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also adding in a lot of mid 90's to early 2000's influences, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the album also has its atmospheric moments.
On this recording Odium Humani G3eneris expands on the old school and depressive style of black metal that they have introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover fear, disappointment, sadness and loneliness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Odium Humani Generis and if you are a fan of old school and depressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lustro" "Poploch" and "Granice". 8 out of 10.
