This is a review of another recording from Hungary's solo project Nagaarum which shows the music going for more of an experimental mixture of black and doom metal and the album was originally released in 2016 and called "D.I.M" and was re-issued in 2019 by NGC Prod.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are a mixture of clean singing and grim black metal screams.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while spoken word parts can also be heard at times. The music also has its experimental moments along with some elements of doom metal also being added into the slower sections of the songs as well as some synths also being added into certain sections of the recording.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of the tracks also being ambient orientated instrumentals as well as some of the drum beats also being programmed and as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts can also be heard. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the Russian chemist Dimitri Ivanovich Mendeleev.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Magaarum and if you are a fan of experimental black and doom metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rb" "Hg" and "H". 8 out of 10.
