Italy's Necrolust have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a satanic and old form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Inferno" which was released by Art Inferna.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are done in a very dark yet melodic style. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with the vocals also getting very deep and demonic sounding at times.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some of the riffing and vocals also showing an influence of death metal and as the album progresses a brief use of synths can also be heard and as the album progresses elements of thrash metal can also be heard briefly and a later track also adds in a brief use of ritualistic spoken word parts. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Left Hand Path, Darkness and Evil themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Necrolust and if you are a fan of old school occult and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Dark Path" "The Demon In The Snow" "In The Name Of Evil" and "Satan's Speech". 8 out of 10.
