Eosphoros are a band from Portland, Oregon that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "II' which will be released sometime this year by Altare Productions.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while the songs also mix in a decent amount of old school influences. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and on the closing song a brief use of acoustic guitars and synths can also be heard
On this recording Eosphoros plays a style of occult black metal that is very traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Luciferian, Gnosticism, Paganism and Anti Society themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Eosphoros and if you are a fan of occult black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tempest" "Destroyer" and "The Hunter". 8 out of 10.
