United Kingdom's Written In Torment has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an epic, melodic and old school form of occult black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Black Command" which will be released in July by
Purity Through Fire.
Heavy yet melodic riffing starts off the album along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams and the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
Synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, as the album progresses a brief use of clean vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of songs.
On this recording Written In Torment expands from a solo project to full line up goes for more of an epic and melodic style of occult black metal that also mixes the 90's era in with a more up to date style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism and Human Suffering themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Written In Torment and if you are a fan of epic, melodic and old school occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anger Road" and "Black Command". 8 out of 10.
