Argentina's Mount Depression have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "Act Of Illusion".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are mostly grim yet depressive sounding black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and w hen t he music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing can also be heard on a couple of songs along with the synths also adding in touch of ambient when they are utilized briefly.
When guitar solos and leads are introduced on the recording they are also done in a very melodic style along with the interlude also adding in touches of classical music and some of the tracks also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, one song also adds in a small amount of guitar solos and leads. and spoken words are also added towards the end The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depression, solitude and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mount Depression and if you are a fan of depressive black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grim!" "Above The Power Of Dimension" and "Black Stream". 8 out of 10.
