This is a review of an earlier album from Israel's solo project Die Entweihung which showed the music going for a blackened heavy metal style and the album was originally released in 2021 and called "kings & Pawns" which was re-issued in 2024 as a joint effort between Acid Vicious Fanzine, Bajo Tierra and Inverted Chalice.
Static sounds and keyboards start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. A lot of the mid tempo riffing also shows an influence of traditional metal along with the slower sections of the songs also bringing in elements of doom and dark metal and the solos and leads also add in a lot of melody.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Middle Eastern style melodies can also be heard at times along with some touches of thrash metal also being mixed in with some of the riffs and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. One song is an instrumental and also introduces keyboards onto the album, clear vocals and death metal growls are also utilized on a few songs and there are also some John Lennon and Der Gerwelf covers. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the conflicts between humans and the world around themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Die Entweihung and if you are a fan of blackened heavy metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Moustached God" "Kings & pawns" and "Suns of Moon And Fire". 8 out of 10.
