Germany's solo project Tot aus dem Wald has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw, old school and misanthropic style of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Satan No Mono" which will be released on December 22nd by Wolfmond Production.
A horror movie orientated atmosphere starts off the album before going into a very fast, raw and melodic musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music also adds in a great amount of old school influences.
Touches of Japanese folk music can also be heard at times while the music also has its lo-fi moments. Throughout the recording can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also adding in a brief use of shouts and when percussion and chants are utilized they also give the music more shamanistic and ritualistic touches.
On this recording Tot aus dem Wald adds touches of Japanese folk music into his misanthropic, old school and raw style of black metal to create something very different from his previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover Japanese Folklore and Mythology themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tot aus dem Wald and if you are a fan of misanthropic, old school and raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Oni, wollen zerreissen wollen zerfetzen" "Tengu, die Nase des Todes" and "Uba-Yama, ein vertikates Massengrab". 8 out of 10.
