Portugal's Irae have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their ep "Promiscuous Fire" which will be released in 2025 by Signal Rex.
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 some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams as well a s a couple of tracks also being long and epic in length and the music is heavily rooted in the old school era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark yet melodic style and the whole ep also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Irae plays a very fast style of black metal that is very heavily rooted in the 90's era. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Portuguese and English and cover Satanism, Occultism and the End Of Humanity/
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Irae and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Curse Of Lael" and "Endless Circle". 8 out of 10.
