Warmoon Lord are a solo project from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very old school and medieval from of black metal and this is a review of his 2019 album "Burning Banners of The Funereal War" which was re-issued in 2023 by Werewolf Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments on the recording aldol have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with most of the tracks being very long and epic in length as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era, synths can also be heard in the background at times and also gives the recording more of a medieval and atmospheric touch and clean playing is added on the closing track.
On this recording Warmon Lord played a style of black metal that is very old school and medieval sounding in t he 90's Finnish tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Fantasy and War themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Warmoon Lord and if you are a fan of old school and medieval black metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Obsessing Darkness" and "Blazing Warrior Soul". 8 out of 10.
