Order Of The Ebon Hand ate a band from Greece that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "VII: The Chariot" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath Records and More Hate Productions.
A very heavy yet melodic sound starts off the album while keyboards are also added into some parts of the music as well as adding in a psychedelic touch at times. The vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be hear while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style. The songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tremolo picking also giving the songs more of a raw feeling and as the album progresses a brief use of clean playing can be heard before returning back to a heavier direction and one track also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts.
On this recording Order Of The Ebon Hand remain true to the occult black emtal style that has been established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Demonology, Tarot and Darkness along with a couple of the song titles being in Greek.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Order Of The Ebon Hand and if you are a fan of occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dreadnought" "Sabnock" and "The Slow Death Walk". 8 out of 10.
