Moonlight Sorcery are a band from Finland that plays a very melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Horned Lord of The Thorned Castle" which will be released in September by Avantgarde Music.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Symphonic sounding synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while the riffs also ad d in a lot of melody and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's era. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, clean playing can also be heard briefly along with one song also being an instrumental and one song also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Fantasy themes.
In my opinion Moonlight Sorcery are a very great sounding melodic and symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In Coldest Embrace" "The Moon Light Dance Of The Twisted Jester's Blood-Soaked Rituals" and "Into The Silvery Shadows Of Night". 8 out of 10.
