This is a review of another recording from Cursed Altar with the music being atmospheric, post black metal with elements of drone and this is a review of their self released 2012 compilation album "Movements Of The Frozen Earth".
Drum programming ranges from slow to mid paced beats, while the sound effects bring a very dark, atmospheric and drone sound to t he recording, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced atmospheric black metal riffs that use some raw and primitive sounding elements, melody and post rock influences in the riffing to create a sound of their own along with a brief use of soft and clean paying, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals when they are utilized are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams along with some spoken word parts being used on the last song, while the lyrics cover darkness, nature and suicidal themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Cursed Altar and if you are a fan of atmospheric, post black metal mixed with drone, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Darkest Place On Earth" "Prisons Of The Mind" and "Twilight In The Forest Of Suicide". RECOMMENDED BUY.
