Thy Dying Light are a band from the United Kingdom that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this release where still a solo project and played very raw, satanic and antisocial form of black metal and this is a review of his 2018 compilation album "Forgotten By Time" which was released by Death Prayer Records and consists of tracks that where released on his early demo's and ep's.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the compilation along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also adds in a great amount of 90's influences as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies.
All of t he musical instruments on the compilation also have a very powerful sound to them while the album also adds in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced into the music, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and some of the songs are also long and epic in length.
On this compilation Thy Dying Light played a style of black metal that is very raw, traditional, antisocial and satanic sounding. The production sound s very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Darkness and Plague themes.
In my opinion this was a very great sounding collection from Thy Dying Light and if you are a fan of raw, antisocial and satanic black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fist Of Satan" "Tombs Of The Forgotten" and "Plague Rats". 8 out of 10.
