Draconian Oracle are a band from Los Angeles, California that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2020 album "The Ascending Flame".
A very dark and ritualistic sounding intro starts off the album along with a brief use of synths and choirs before going into a heavier musical direction. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while growls are also utilized at times and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with a couple of the tracks also adding in some clear vocals.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling as well as a later song also introducing clean playing onto the album, the closing track is also an instrunmental. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyr4ics cover Occultism and Left Hand Path themes.
In my opinion Draconian Oracle are a very great sounding old black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tales Of The Scaled Messiah" and "Dark Chakra". 8 out of 10.
