This is a review of another recording from United Kingdom's The Dying Light which showed the music going for more of a raw and old school style of black metal and the ep was released in 2018 by Death Prayer Records and called "Cold In Death".
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats 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 while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era. Clean playing can also be heard on a couple of the tracks along with the guitar leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized.
On this recording Thy Dying Light played a style of black metal that was very raw and old school in the 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, death and coldness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Thy Dying Light and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cold in Death" and "Forests of Old". 8 out of 10.
