Umbra Conscientia are an international band with members from Costa Rica and Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Nigrdine Mundi" which will be released in May by Terratur Possessions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and growls can also be heard at times.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Most of the music is very modern along with the riffing also capturing the aggression of the heavier side of the old school era as well as all of the tracks also sticking to a heavier direction. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Umbra Conscientia and if you are a fan of aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Constant Self Sacrifice in Devotion To Darkness" and "Resonatis Diaboli". 8 out of 10.
