A Mournful Path are a duo from Australia that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw, blasphemous and lo-fi form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Upon Mounds Of Flesh And Ash" which was released by Desolate Kreation Records.
A very fast, raw and lo-fi sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as adding in some influences from the 90's era.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some powerful sounding bass guitars also b eing added into the background at times and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording A Mournful Path goes for more of a raw and lo-fi direction that is very different from the atmospheric style of their previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from A Mournful Path and if you are a fan of raw, blasphemous and lo-fi black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Upon Mounds Of Flesh And Ash" and "A Shroud Covered In Blood And Dust". 8 out of 10.
