Greece's Human Serpent have returned with a new recording which continues the raw and misanthropic style of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 album "Heirlooms Eternal" which was released by The Scars Of Millions Proselytism.
High pitched black metal screams start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. At times the vocals also get more angry and deep sounding while a small amount of melody is also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The music also brings in a great amount of 90's influences along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the guitar leads also getting more melodic on later songs, one track also adds in a brief use of piano's and clean playing and the closing song is also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Human Serpent remains true to the raw and misanthropic style of black metal that they had established and previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover misanthropy and nihilism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Human Serpent and if you are a fan of raw and misanthropic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Thousand Limbos of Mind" "Memories Are Room Of Pain" and "Mirrors". 8 out of 10.
