France's Ars Moriendi has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric and progressive from of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Lorsque les coeurs s'assechent" which will be released in August by Archaic Sound.
Acoustic guitars start off the album and also returns on some of the later tracks while clear vocals and synths can also be heard at times. The music also goes into more of a progressive direction in certain sections of the album and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while the music also has its atmospheric moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic sound along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the album more of a raw feeling.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, battle sounds, clean chants/singing and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and operatic female vocals are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover the ability of humans going from the purest innocence to the most absolute perversity.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ars Moriendi and if you are a fan of atmospheric and progressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Lorsque les coeurs s'assechent" and "Le blasphemateur". 8 out of 10.
