Vigljos are a band from Switzerland that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Tome I : Apidae" which will be released in May by Dusktone.
Folk instruments and beehive sounds start off the album before going into a very fast and r aw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the screams also add in some depressive and melancholic touches. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with some of the riffing also adding in a small amount of melody, one of the tracks is also an instrumental and a couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length.
Vigljos plays a style of black metal that is very raw, depressive and old school sounding mixing the 90's and early 2000's era together. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover beehive themes.
In my opinion Vigljos are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sweet Stings" and "Raiding The Hive". 8 out of 10.
