Sweden's solo project HellGoat has returned with a new recording which consists of his raw style of satanic black metal that was released on split albums and this is a review of his 2023 compilation album "Culto Mortuo II" which was released by Iron, Blood And Death Corporation.
Ritualistic spoken word parts start off the compilation before going into a heavier direction while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
The songs also add in a lot of old school influences while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very raw yet melodic style along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, keyboards can also be heard briefly,
On this compilation HellGoat brings in a very raw, violent and satanic style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Swedish and cover Satanism, Devil Worship, Evilness, Hatred and Murder themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from HellGoat and if you are a fan of raw and satanic black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Glory To The Evil One" "Decimated By The Fist Of Satan" "Devourer of Both Sun And Moon" and "Upon Thy Altar of Death". 8 out of 10.
