Vltor are a band from Italy that plays a pagan form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Non Auro Sed Ferro" which will be released in September by Dusktone.
Synths start off the album along with some folk instruments a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the album also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats.
Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the album while clear pagan vocals are also utilized at times. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody, when percussion is utilized they also give the music more of a ritualistic and tribal atmosphere.
Vltor plays a style of pagan black metal that is very aggressive, epic and melodic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover Archaic Roman Paganism themes.
In my opinion Vltor are a very great sounding pagan black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Taurobolio" "Fons Perennis" "Haec Est Italia" and "Non Auro Sed Ferro". 8 out of 10.
