Nine Covens are a band from London, England that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style on the new recording which I would describe as being raw and primitive sounding occult black metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "On The Dawning Of Light" which will be released by Candlelight Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast old school style black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding in the 90's tradition along with a brief use of thrash style riffing as well as some dark sounding melodies being utilized at times in addition there is a brief use of clean playing being utilized on one song, while the lead guitars are very distorted sounding black metal guitar leads.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams with a brief use of deep growls, while the lyrics cover Occultism and Darkness, as for the production it has a very dark, old school, raw and primitive sound to it that brings back the classic sound with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Nine Covens and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Origin Of Light" "The Mist Of Death" "White Star Acception" and "A Burning Ember". RECOMMENDED BUY.
