Bykurius are a duo from the united Kingdom that plays a very melodic and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 ep "A Heretic Art".
A synths orientated intro starts off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the Swedish style. Deep growls are also added into some parts of the music while clean vocals can also be heard at times as well as the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style.
Synths also make a return in some parts of the recording as well as a couple of songs also bringing in a brief use of clean playing and the last two tracks are very long and epic in length and also introduce violins and flutes onto the recording, all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian and Left Hand Path themes.
In my opinion Bykurius are a very great sounding melodic and satanic black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rise, Our Father Lucifer' and "Baphomet Rules Below". 8 out of 10.
