United Kingdom's solo project Vessel Of Iniquity has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black metal, grindcore, noise and industrial and this is a review of his 2021 album "The Doorway" which will be released in August by Sentient Ruin Industries.
A very powerful bass guitar and ambient style synths start off the album along with some heavier riffing a few seconds later. Industrial style beats are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording and when the music speeds up a great amount of war metal elements tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and bestial growls which are also mixed down low in the mix. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some songs also add in a small amount of clean playing and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also having its atmospheric and abstract moments as well as the faster sections of the songs mixing in the brutality of grindcore, harsh noises and synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. When guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very raw and melodic style and as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts can also be heard. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics cover annihilation, disembodiment, disintegration of reality and existence themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vessel Of Iniquity and if you are a fan of black metal, grindcore, industrial and noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "By Allusion Called" "The Doorway" and "Ascension". 8 out of 10.
