Los Angeles, California's solo project Hvile I Kaos has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of occult black metal, ritual and chamber music and this is a review of his 2024 album "Lower Guide Manifestations" which will be released in July as a joint effort between Vitae Manifestatio, Eisenwald and House Of Inkantation.
Ritualistic drum beats start off the album along with some cellos a few seconds later which also gives the music more of an avant garde feeling while also introducing elements of chamber music onto the recording. The vocals are mostly chants that also capture the grim atmosphere of black metal.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while some of the cellos get more aggressive they make for the lack of traditional metal instruments being utilized. Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly along with the album also having its experimental moments, one song also adds in some spoken voices into the background, some of the songs are also instrumentals. as the album progresses the sounds of torture can also introduced into the music.
On this recording Hvile I Kaos takes occult black metal, ritual and chamber music and mixes them together to create a very diverse recording. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focused on a practice of Sinsiter Magick known as Vendatic Nihilism.
In mu opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hvile I Kaos and if you are a fan of occult black metal, ritual and chamber music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "My Hatred Is Just" "Panic Sun" and "Verify Thy Path". 8 out of 10.
