Damnation Prayer are a band from Finland that plays a very violent and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Blood Ritual: Symbols Of Warfare And Annihilation".
Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and vocals a re done in mostly a growling style.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads also bring in an old school style. Angry sounding black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the album you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some apocalyptic orientated also being added into some parts of the recording as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish style. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover death, plague and darkness themes.
In my opinion Damnation Prayer are a very great sounding violent and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRA CKS INCLUDE "Temples Of Flesh" Scorched" and "Into Burning Oblivion". 8 out of 10.
