Svart Lotus are a band from Norway that plays an old school mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Some et vondt Ar" which will be released in March by Hellstain Productions.
A synth orientated intro starts off the album while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to to them and the music is heavily rooted in the 90's era.
Death metal growls can also be heard at times while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clear singing, when the music speeds up tremolo picking and blast beats are also utilized which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
One song is also very long and epic in length and adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars which also return on a later song and the solos and leads are also done in an old school style when they are introduced on the album, clean playing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Norwegian and cover human nature, ego, existentialism, darkness, doom and despair from a psychoanalysis point of view.
In my opinion Svart Lotus are a very great sounding old school mixture of black, doom and death metal and if you are a f an of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Distraction Industry" "Cryptic Lights" and "Svart lotus". 8 out of 10.
