Kvltmor are a band form Russia that plays a mixture of occult black metal and ritualistic dark ambient and this is a review of their 2021 album "XIII Ritual" which will be released on November 26th by Corrupted Flesh Records.
Ritualistic soundscapes start off the album along with some demonic sounding voices in the background while the synths also bring in elements of dark ambient and also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly grim y et high pitched sounding black metal screams.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Clean playing can also be heard at times along with some whispered vocals also being added into certain sections of the recording as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized, when spoken word parts are added onto the album they also enhance the ritualistic side of the music. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Diabolica Quimdanda, Left hand Path Occultism and Ritualistic themes.
In my opinion Kvltmor are a very great sounding ritualistic mixture of occult black emtal and dark ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Agios Quayin Rex Mortis" and "Salve Exu Mor, Salve Beelzebuth". 8/5 out of 10.
