Italy's Heruka have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a modern and aggressive style of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Memorie" which will be released on May 24th by Rude Awakening Records.
A keyboard oriented intro starts off the album along with a brief use of whispers before going into a heavier musical direction. Vocals are mostly angry black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
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. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some songs also adding in a small amount of growls.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow mid paced and fast parts along with one song also adding in a brief use of clear vocals. Symphonic elements can also be heard in certain sections of the album as well as couple of tracks tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts and the closing track also adds in some acoustic guitars and folk instruments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heruka and if you are a fan of modern and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Presagi" "Indarno" "Anossia" and "Passacagila". 8 out of 10.
