Lake Of Blood/The Burial Grounds Sessions/Cult Of Melancholia/2012 EP Review


  This  is  the  final  review  of  a  recording from  Lake  Of  Blood  which  continues  their  atmospheric  approach  to black  metal  with  doom  elements  and  the  ep  was  released  by  Cult  Of  Melancholia  in  2012  and  called  "The  Burial  Grounds  Sessions".

  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  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  atmospheric  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  heavy,  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  along  with  some  melody  and  doom  metal  influences  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  and  there  are  no guitar  solos  or  leads present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams  to  deep  blackened  death  metal  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  misanthropy  and  isolation,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can   still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  as  well  as  the  2  songs  being  recorded  live  and  are  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  ep  from  Lake  Of  Blood  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  heavy,  atmospheric  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "He  Who  Becomes".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
