This is a review of another recording from Romania's Siculicidium which shows hem moving away from the black metal style of previous releases and going for more for more of an atmospheric and experimental mixture of dark ambient, country and folk and this is a review of their 2024 album "Az elidegenedés melankóliája" which was released by Sun & Moon Records.
Dark ambient style synths start off the album while the clean guitars also add in elements of country and folk music when they are introduced onto the album. Spoken word parts are also added into certain sections of the recording and some tracks also add in a small amount of wing instruments, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very experimental sounding while the percussion instruments also add in some tribal touches. Some of the songs are also instrumentals along with each song also sounding very different from each other along with one track also introducing electronica sounds onto the recording.
When harsh vocals are utilized they also bring back some of the black metal elements of previous releases along with some heavy and melodic funeral doom metal guitar riffs also being introduced as the recording progress. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in Romanian and cover the universe with some occult and esoteric touches.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Siculicidium and if you are a fan of experimental, dark ambient, country, folk, black and funeral doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE " Az első" "Áradás" "Hasadás" and "Ima". 8 out of 10.
