Finland's Mustan Kuun Lapset has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black and dark metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Suruaika" which was released by Inverse Records.
\
Stringed instruments start off the ep along with some keyboards a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the one also going into more of a folk music direction and adding in some clear vocals and acoustic guitars, female vocals are also added on the closing track which also adds in a touch of gothic metal.
On this recording Mustan Kuun Lapset brings in a couple of very heavy and melodic black/dark metal songs and 1 folk music track to create a very diverse recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover poetry, nature, longing and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mustan Kuun Lapset and if you are a fan of black and dark metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS NCLUDE "Muistoa kunnioittaen" and "Morfiinisiivet (alas de morfina)". 8 out of 10.
