Kelvikus are a band from the United Kingdom that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 demo "I".
Ritualistic soundscapes start off the demo before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives th e music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and most of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Growls can also be heard at times All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also having its atmospheric moments.
The solos and leads are done in a very melodic style when they are utilized along with one track also being an instrumental and adding in a brief use of ambient style synths before closing the demo with a heavier track. The production sounds professional while the lyrics cover Chaosophy, Magick, Occultism and Left hand Path themes.
In my opinion Kelvikud are a very great sounding occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACK "I, Oblivion". 8/5 out of 10.
