Kolossus are a solo project from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording goes for an atmospheric style of black metal and this is a review of his 2021 album "K" which will be released in October by My Kingdom Music.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while some songs also add in some clear pagan vocals. Grim black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and a great portion of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric and dissonant moments as well as some tracks also showing the album going into a more experimental direction, spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of songs and as the recording progresses a small amount of thrash metal elements can also be heard and one track also adds in a small amount of acoustic guitars. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Northern lands, Gods, Afterlife Mysteries and Religious Conflicts.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Kolossus and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "By The light, To The Dark" "Throne Of Wood And Fire" and "The Mouth". 8 out of 10.
