Cleveland, Ohio's Burial Oath have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "The Cycles Of Suffering" which will be released in November by Redefining Darkness Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the songs also add in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as one song also adding synths into the background briefly, clean playing is also added on a couple of the later tracks as the album progresses.
On this recording Burial oath goes for more of a raw, aggressive and traditional style of occult black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Paganism, Death and Suffering themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Burial Oath and if you are a fan of occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Voidhanter" Howling Promethean Winds" and "Pagan Fires". 8 out of 10.
