Dark Age Of Ruin are a band from Portugal that plays a very raw, old school and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "False Messiah And The Abstract" which was released as a joint effort between Selvqajaria Records and MHMA.
Angry black metal vocals start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of of tremolo picking and blast beats. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the music is very heavily rooted in t he 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also remaining very true to an old school style when they are utilized and clean playing is added on the closing track
Dark Age of Ruin plays a very of black metal that is very raw and satanic in the 90's tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Anti Christianity and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion Dark Age of Ruin are a very great sounding raw, old school and satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "False messiah And The Abstract" "Son of Satan" and "Blasphemy". 8 out of 10.
