Svartsyn are a solo project from Sweden that has been featured before in this zine and plays a satanic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2019 compilation album "A Night Created By the Shadows... And The Resuscitation Of Unspoken Rituals" which was released by Nomad Snakepit.
A very dark and ritualistic sounding intro starts off the compilation along with a brief use of synths while also introducing grim yet pitched black metal screams into the music, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction as well as the riffs also adding in some melodies.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. The tracks also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style, synths also make a return on some of the later tracks along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Swedish and cover Satanism, occultism, Death Worship, Darkness and Misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collectron from Svartsyn and if you are a fan of satanic black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Upon The Throne" The Great Mysteriis Of Death" "Under the Devil's Moon" and "Dark Kingdom". 8 out of 10.
