Wormthrone are a band from Portugal that plays a very brutal form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Enlightened through Darkness" which was released by larvae Records.
A very apocalyptic sound starts off the album along with some clean playing and synths a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of brutal blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the album more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some ethnic style chants also being used briefly, some of the brutality also adds in a touch of war metal.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic style along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and most of the music is very heavily rooted in t he modern era. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death, destruction and war themes.
In my opinion Wormthrone are a very great sounding brutal black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bringers Of Destruction And Death" and "Through Pestilence And Holocaust". 8 out of 10.
