Greece's solo project Apocalyptic Leaders has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric, melodic and raw style of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Destructive Rage Of The Enemies" which will be released in June on cassette by Void Wanderer Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with a great portion of the tracks being very long and epic in length and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post melodic style.
At times the music also captures the raw energy of punk rock along with the music mixing in both modern and old school influences as well as each song also showing a different style of black metal, acoustic guitars can also be heard on the closing song. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Anti Religion, Death and Apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Apocalyptic Leaders and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and raw black metal, you should check out this cassette. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Do Not Stab Yourself" and "The Existence of A Common Mortal". 8 out of 10.
