Poland's Teufelsberg have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school and mid tempo style of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Cienie" which will be released in April by Under The Sign Of Garazel Productions.
Rain sounds start off the ep while synths can also be heard in the background briefly before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era. Spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with the last song also adding in a brief use of clean laying, synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs and all of the music sticks to a slow or mid tempo direction.
On this recording Teufelsbrg takes their music into more of a slower and mid paced black metal direction as well as adding in some synths to create something different from their previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover Occultism, Malancholy and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Teufelsberg and if you are a fan of mid tempo old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Cmentarnych kadzideł woń". 8 out of 10.
