Orem's Hymns Of Depravity are a solo project from the United States that plays a very satanic and atmospheric from of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "Torture Portals".
A very dark, heavy, melodic and symphonic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a r aw feeling along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few growls.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of t he synths also add in a small amount of avant garde touches along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the songs also add in influences form both the old school and modern era's of the genre.
Whispered voices and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the slower sections of the songs also adding in a small amount of doom metal elements as well as one track also adding in a brief use of clean playing and nature sounds. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Darkness, Exploration and Misanthropic themes.
In my opinion Orem's Hymns Of Depravity are a very great sounding atmospheric and satanic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Akeldama" "My Ascension" "Raze The Sun" and "Winter Inherit". 8/5 out of 10.
