Crest Of Darkness are a band from Norway that plays a very melodic, raw and primitive form of evil Norwegian black metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "In The Presence Of Death" which was released by My Kingdom Music.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars, as for the synths when they are utilized they bring a very dark and atmospheric sound to the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast Norwegian style black metal riffs that are very dark, melodic, raw and primitive sounding with a great amount of thrash influences being thrown into the riffing, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very melodic sounding heavy metal guitar solos and leads, as for the classical guitars which are only used on the last song they use finger picking to enhance the darkness that is coming out of the music.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams with some deep growls and spoken word parts being utilized at times, while the lyrics cover darkness, evil, and occult themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful and heavy sound to it.
In my opinion Crest Of Darkness are a very great sounding melodic, raw and primitive evil Norwegian black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should c heck out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Demon Child" "The Priest From Hell" "Welcome To My Funeral" and "Vampire Dreams". RECOMMENDED BUY.
