Northmoon are a band from Austria that plays an old school and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Shadowlord - My Soft Vision In Blood" which will be released on August 28th by Naturmacht Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the album more of a raw feeling along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also having its atmospheric moments, acoustic guitars and clear vocals can also be heard briefly along with a later song also introducing synths onto the album. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Anti Christianity, black Metal and nature themes.
In my opinion Northmoon are a very great sounding atmospheric, old school and satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Infernal paths of Sinister Cosmic Devotion" "Black metal Wolves Of Iron And Chaos" and "Occult Legion Of The Abyss". 8 out of 10.
