Blessed King Of Longing are a solo project from an unknown area that plays an experimental form of ambient black metal and this is a review of his self titled 2024 album which will b e released in December by Syrup Moose Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some experimental and avant garde elements a few seconds later. Clean playing can also be heard briefly while the songs also mix in a good amount of power electronics while the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams and the recording also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the album also mixes in a lot of ambient elements. Distorted noises can also be heard briefly along with each track also sounding very different from each other as well as the music also having its ritualistic moments and the whole recording also avoids the use of any traditional metal instruments.
Blessed King of Longing plays a musical style that takes experimental, dark ambient and depressive black metal and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and lo-fi while the lyrics cover darkness, death and violence themes.
In my opinion Blessed King Of Longing is a very great sounding mixture of experimental, dark ambient and depressive black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dead Dove" "Every Living Creature on Earth Dies Alone" "Pomegranate Seeds" and "Blue Velvet". 8 out of 10.
