Usurpator are a solo project from Austria that plays a dissonant mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Atonement" which was released by Church Of Eradication.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets very dissonant sounding along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of death metal influences as well as all of the music also sticking to a heavier direction, one of the tracks is also an instrumental.
Usurpator plays a musical style that takes dissonant black metal and mixes it with doom and death metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Mythology and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Usurpator are a very great sounding dissonant mixture of black, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hybris" and "Atonement". 8 out of 10.
