Kaarmekristus is a solo project from Finland that plays a very satanic and occult form of black metal and this is a review of his 2014 demo "Venite ad Me, Satanas" which was re-issued in 2020 by Nebular Carcoma Records.
Distorted reverbs and acoustic guitars start off the demo before going into a heavier musical direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
The songs also add in a decent amount of 90's and early 2000's influences while the tracks also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with a couple of the songs also being instrumentals and all of the riffing is done on power chords, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are done in a very dark yet melodic style and acoustic guitars also make a return on the closing track.
Kaarmekristus plays a style of satanic occult black metal that is very raw and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover polarities, darkness, light and the path to spiritual enlightenment.
In my opinion Kaarmekristus are a very great sounding raw, satanic and occult black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Pimeyden syvyyksiin" and "Valon kirkkauteen". 8 out of 10.
