Costa Rica's Dusk has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and industrial form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Rethronody" which will be released in may.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before adding in some effects, electronic and industrial style beats which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the drum beats are also programmed while the synths also give the music more of an atmospheric touch when t hey are utilized.
Spoken word parts and whispers can also be heard on a couple of songs while all of t he musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. High pitched black metal scream are also a very huge part of the recording along with some clear chants also being utilized briefly and some of the riffing also adds in a lot of melody, when the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and they also do an industrial version of a Metallica song on the closing track.
On this recording Dusk focuses more on the electro-industrial style of their musical sound as well as reining some of the black metal elements of earlier releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are a concept album revolving around the themes of Rethronody.
On my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dusk and if you are a fan of industrial and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUD E "Rethronody II" and "Rethronody VI". 8 out of 10.
