Lunar Spells are a band from Greece that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Demise Of Heaven" which will be released in September by Northern Silence Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era. During t he faster sections of the songs a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the vocals a re mostly grim y et high pitched black metal screams.
Synths are also mixed into the heavier sections of the songs while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody at times and the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Scandinavian style.
Lunar Spells plays a style of black metal t hat is very heavily rooted in the 90's style and looks at the Scandinavian bands of that era instead of the Hellenic style of t heir home style which also makes the album stand out a lot more. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, depression, misanthropy and hate themes.
In my opinion Lunar Spells are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Praying For Redemption" and "Anguish And Sorrow". 8 out of 10.
