Rhode Island's Ancient Torment have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Force Me Upon Death" which was released by Old Pain Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is very heavily rooted in the classic tradition. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Ancient Torment goes for a very fast, raw and traditional form of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death, misanthropy and self -destruction themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ancient Torment and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Broken Lays The Mask Borne Against Them". 8 out of 10.
