Popioły are a solo project from Poland that plays a very modern form of black metal and this is a review of their 202o album "Purposeless Through Suffering" which was re-issued in 2024 by Old Temple.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the music is rooted in the modern era mixed in with some of the old school aggression along with the music also having its atmospheric moments, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
Popioły plays a style of black metal that is very modern and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Polish an d English and cover Apathy, Darkness and Nihilism themes.
In my opinion Popioły are a very great sounding modern and aggressive black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Spark" "Torn From Void" and "Illusion". 8 out of 10.
