Mons Veneris are a band from Portugal that has had music reviewed before in this and on this recording plays a very old school and raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Inversados d'Um Abismo de Podridao" which will be released in September by Signal Rex.
Dark yet melodic sounding riffing starts off the album while clear vocals van also be heard briefly which also evolve into grim yet high pitched black metal screams. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also mixing in a lot of 90's influences and at times the music gets very lo-fi sounding.
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 recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the clear vocals also returning on some of the alter songs.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very distorted style along with the music also mixing in some influences from the French Black Legions and the classic Portugal proto black metal era. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Portuguese and cover Satanism, Occultism, Darkness and Destruction themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mons Veneris and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As garras do Velho Escrito" "O do Fosso da Vida" and "Discipulo do Mal". 8 out of 10.
