This is a review of another recording from United Kingdom's solo project A.R.:.O.:.A.A which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric, lo-fi, raw and ritualistic mixture of black metal and dark ambient and the demo was released in 2020 by Inverse Solar Reqvriem and called "WNDDETHPTHWYSTRDDN XXIX.X.MMXIX".
Dark ambient style synths start off the demo along with some ritualistic soundscapes which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. The only track that is present on the recording is also over 20 minutes in length and the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast b eats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the demo also has its atmospheric moments. At times the music also gets very repetitive sounding along with a small amount of psychedelic sounds also being added into the background, slower , melodic riffs and tortured sounding black metal vocals can also be heard briefly.
In this recording A.R.:.O.:.A.A takes his music into more of an atmospheric, ambient and lo-fi direction of black metal as well as keeping the ritualistic elements of his previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death and ritual themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from A.R.:.O.:.A.A and if you are a f an of ambient, atmospheric, lo-fi, raw and ritualistic occult black emtal, you should check out this demo. 8 out of 10.
