Onirik are a band from Portugal that plays a very raw and brutal form of black metal and this is a review of their 2004 album Walking As A Shadow" which was released by Satan's Millennium Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being used at times, while the bass playing is mixed down low in the mix and seems to follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they sound powerful.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast raw black metal riffs that are also melodic at times and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched and grim sounding black metal screams mixed in with some occasional suicidal cries, while the lyrics cover Luciferian, Dark Witchcraft, Occultism, and Darkness, as for the production it sounds very dark, raw and heavy.
In my opinion Onirik are a very good raw and brutal sounding black metal band, and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hymn To Lucifer" "Curse Of The Witch" and "Thunderstorm". RECOMMENDED BUY.
