Codex Mortis are a band from t he Netherlands that plays an aggressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Tales Of Woe" which will be released in June by Black Lion Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while death metal growls can also b e heard at times as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized. A couple of songs also adds in a brief use of synths along with the tracks also mixing in elements of both the old school and modern era's of the genre.
Codex Mortis plays a musical style that takes black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album about an evil spirit that tortures a man through demonic possession and mind control.
In my opinion Codex Mortis are a very great sounding aggressive mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Forsaken" and "Fire, Screams And Death". 8 out of 10.
