Brazil's Cursed Excruciation has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school and occult mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his album "Arcane Diabolism" which will be released in 2023 by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A synth orientated intro starts off the album along with a brief use of ritualistic spoken word parts before going into a heavier direction. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the early 90's era while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Elements of death metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some synths also being utilized on a few tracks, whispered vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Goetia, Black Magick and Left Hand Path themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Cursed Excruciation and if you are a fan of old school and occult black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Goetic Glorification" and "Black Altar Sacrifice". 8/5 out of 10.
