Cromlech are a solo project from Germany that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 203 album "Stiff And Cold" which will be released on September 30th by Archaic Sound.
Keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the album also adding in a small amount of atmospheric touches, a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Cromlech plays a style of black metal that is very heavily rooted in the more atmospheric and keyboard orientated style of 90's era. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover darkness themes as well as the closing song also being written in German.
In my opinion Cromlech are a very great sounding old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cold And Stiff" and "Vogelfrei". 8 out of 10.
