United Kingdom's solo project Goatchrist has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an instrumental, experimental, avant garde and progressive form of occult black metal with elements of jazz and classical music and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "The Sacred Teachings Of Aleister Crowley".
Pianos start off the album along with some heavier riffing and orchestra sounds a few seconds later which also adds in touches of classical music. At times the music also gets very experimental and avant garde sounding while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and jazz music style instruments can also b e heard at times.
The tracks also has their progressive moments while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style when they are utilized. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the album also adding in elements of black metal and blast beats when the music finally speeds up and most of the recording sticks to more of a mid tempo style.
On this recording Goatchrist moves further away from the black metal direction of earlier releases and focuses more on an experimental and avant garde style of metal as well as keeping everything instrumental. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus more on t he Thelemic teachings Of Aleister Crowley.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Goatchrist and if you are a fan of experimental, avant garde and progressive occult black metal with elements of jazz and classical music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Enter The Prophet Of The Aeon" "Do What Thoiu Wilt" "The Ego's Dance With Choronzon" and "The Death Of Aleister Crowley". 8 out o 10.
