This is a review of a self titled recording from Netherlands's Deinonychus which shows the continuing to expand on their suicidal mixture of black and doom metal and the album was originally released in 2000 and re-issued in 2022 by My Kingdom music as a part of the "Bleak & Vile" box set.
A very distorted, dark and heavy sound starts off the album along with some keyboards a few seconds later which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Clean playing and spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the recording.
Some of the songs are also very long and epic in length along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. Death metal growls can also be heard at times as well as one song also introducing clean goth metal style singing into the music. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, depression and suicide themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Deinonychus and if you are a fan of suicidal and depressive black and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Inspiring Vulnerable Thought" "This, A Murder Of Crows" and "The Hollow Cage of my Ribs". 8 out of 10.
