Lunar Kingdom are a solo project form Brazil that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Gateway To Higher Mysteries..." which was released on cassette by Primitive Blood.
Raw tremolo picking starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also ad d in a great amount of blast b eats. Vocals are done in more of a demonic style along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the early 90's occult era and synths can also be heard in certain sections of t he recording.
When spoken word parts are utilized they also give the music more of a ritualistic feeling while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized, one of the tracks is also an ambient orientated instrumental
Lunar Kingdom plays a style of occult black metal that is very raw and heavily rooted in the 90's era. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Luciferian, occultism, Mysticism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Lunar Kingdom are a very great sounding raw and old school occult black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this cassette. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lucifer Triumphant (The Unholy Fire)" and "Tartarean Communion (The Primordial Darkness)". 8/5 out of 10.
