Columbia's solo project Ánimas Defunctorum has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric, depressive and raw form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Ars Funeraria" which was released by Odio Eterno Producciones.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with all of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling as well as the album focusing more on a slower direction. Clean playing can also be heard briefly and keyboards are also utilized on a couple of songs, the music also has its atmospheric moments and the guitar leads are also done in a very melodic style.
On this recording Ánimas Defunctorum goes for more of a slower, atmospheric, raw and depressive style of black emtal which is more rooted in the classic style of the genre. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover death, darkness, abyss, despair and suicide themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ánimas Defunctorum and if you are a f an of atmospheric, depressive and raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Postmortem Nihil - Ad Mortem Iter" and "Novissime Lacrimae Ante Sepulcrum". 8 out of 10.
