Italy's solo project Athiel has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of occult black and death metal and this is a review of his 205 album "Maw Of The Curse" which will be released in march by Broken Bones Promotion and Productions.
A very apocalyptic sound starts off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black emtal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's Swedish tradition. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the vocals also adding in a small amount of death metal growls at times.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with a small amount of clean playing also being added on a couple of songs and as the album progresses clear vocals are also utilized briefly and the recording also closes with an instrumental and otro. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Anti-Cosmic Satanism, Occultism, Necromancy, Chaos and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Athiel and if you are a fan of melodic occult black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Baptize Out Of Nowhere" and "Serpentine Bloodline". 8 out of 10.
