Philippines's Omenfilth have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school and Greek influenced form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Possessed By The Pentacle Spell" which will be released in July by Eternal Death.
A keyboard orientated sounding intro starts off the album along with some Gregorian chants before going into a heavier direction. 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 and melodies are also added into the guitar riffing.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal s creams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a touch of the Norwegian style. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain very true to a melodic and old school direction along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts,
Hellenic influences can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with one song also adding in a brief use of clear vocals and as the album progresses keyboards make a brief return and also gives the music more of a ritualistic feeling as well as the closing track also being very long and epic in length which also adds in a small amount of clean playing. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
in my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Omenfilth and if you are a fan of old school Greek influenced black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Terroritual Genocide" "Goat Of The Sabbath" and "Cursed into the Writhing Flames". 8 out of 10.
