Finland's Korgonthurus has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a satanic style of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Jumalhaaska" which will b e released on November 24th by Woodcut Records.
Clean playing which also returns on later songs starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also mixing in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre.
The music also has its atmospheric and melancholic moments as well as one track also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and growls can also be heard briefly along with the closing song also adding in a brief use of stringed instruments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Satanism, Melancholy and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Korgonthurus and if you are a fan of Finnish black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lankeemus" and "Autuas karsimys". 8 out of 10.
