Greece's Archemoron has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an epic style of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Flagellum I' which will be released on April 21st as a joint effort between Satanath Records and Pluton's Rising Productions.
Dark soundscapes 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. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Clear vocals can also be heard in some parts of the recording while the growls are also done in a very demonic style when they are utilized. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet old school style.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the guitar leads also bringing in a more modern approach on later songs. A brief use of semi melodic vocals can also be heard as well as some clean playing also being added into certain sections of the music, spoken word parts and whispers are also introduced on a later song.
Some of the album also shows an influence of the classic Greek style along with some influences from other parts of the world, synths and horn instruments are also added on the closing song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Esotericism and Philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Archemoron and if you are a fan of epic black metal, you should check out this album. RFECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "When Blades Shape Our Feelings" "Thronos" and "Utter Tranquility". 8 out of 10.
