Russia's Blackdeath have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an experimental style of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Mortui incedere possunt" which will be released on November 8th by EAL Productions.
Grim black metal screams start off the album before going into more of an experimental and avant garde direction. A couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length while keyboards can also be heard at times along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and blast beats are also utilized when the music speeds up.
Clear singing can also be heard at time while the tremolo picking also gives the music more of a raw feeling when they are utilized. Noises are also added on some of the tracks along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also bring in more of an avant garde yet melodic style as well as one song also adding in a small amount of choir chants, one song is also a Dead Can Dance cover. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, scientific and philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Blackdeath and if you are a fan of experimental and avant garde black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Annihilate Thy Forest II" 'Emmeleia" and "Der Zorn". 8 out of 10.
