Teitan are a solo project from the Netherlands that plays a psychotic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "In Oculus Abyss" which was released as a joint effort between Void Wanderer, Onism Productions and Zwaertgevegt.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while clean playing can also be heard at times. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also adding in a small amount of hypnotic and psychedelic touches and blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the clear vocals also giving the music more of an avant garde feeling when they are utilized.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with one of the tracks also being an instrumental, drones and death metal growls are also added on some of the tracks as well as a couple of songs also being long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover philosophy and Existentialism themes.
In my opinion ATeitan are a very great sounding psychotic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Menstrual Blood And Pomegranate" "Drowning The Knowledge" "The Die Is Cast" and "Purple Void". 8 out of 10.
