Draakanaon are a solo project from France that plays a very raw and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "La Diable en personne" which was released as a joint effort between Oaken Shield and Adipocère Records.
A very dark and apocalyptic sound starts off the album along with some d rones before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Some of the tracks a re also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with some synths also being added into certain sections of the album.
The music also has its atmospheric and lo-fi moments along with the tracks also adding in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences and as the album progresses a brief use of throat singing can also be heard. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in French and cover Satanism, Occultism, Chaos, Darkness, Murder and Sex themes.
In my opinion Draakanaon are a very great sounding raw and satanic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Un viol cosmique" " La lumière des ténèbres" "Que ton incarnation s'embrase" and "Par le phallus du pourpre démon". 8 out of 10.
