Void Of Apep are a solo project from Portugal that h as been featured before in this zine and plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 ep "Regnum Umbrae".
Dark sounding synths start off the ep along with some melodic guitar solos and leads a few seconds later which also takes the music into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams along with the bass guitars also taking a role as being a lead instrument and melodies are also added into some of the riffing
The faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount and blast beats which also gives the music 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 songs also adding in some 90's influences mixed in with more of a horror orientated atmosphere which is also brought in with the synths.
On this recording Void Of Apep brings in horror movie style synths into his occult style of black metal to create something very different sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyric's cover Occultism themes..
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Void of Apep and if you are a fan of occult black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ars Tenebrarum" and "Caput Mortuum". 8 out of 10.
