Morcaint are a duo from Sweden that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Mornië Utúlië" which was released by Nordvis Produktion.
Atmospheric sounding synths and nature sounds start off the ep and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while clear vocals can also be heard at times and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats are also utilized which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the harsh vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams, clean playing is also added in certain sections of the recording.
On this recording Morcaint remains true to the atmospheric style of black metal that they have established on the previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the writings of J.R.R Tolkien.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Morciant and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMERNDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Pale Moon Rises" and "Summons Dire". 8 out of 10.
