Vulture Lord are a band from Norway that plays an old school form of black metal with elements of death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Desecration Rite" which will be released in June by Odium Records.
A very dark sounding intro along with some spoken word and movie samples start off the album before going into a heavier direction. 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 and the solos and leads are done in a very melodic yet old school style.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the music also brings in a great amount of first wave and thrash metal elements. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as some of the riffing also showing an influence of death metal, the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and ad the album progresses a brief use of clean playing can also be heard.
Vulture lord plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in the old school tradition of black metal as well as mixing in some elements of death and thrash metal to update the genre for the modern era. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, pestilence, satanism, blasphemy and anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Vulture Lord are a very great sounding old school mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bloodbound Militia" "Diabolical intervention" and "Perverting The Bible". 8 out of 10.
