Ventr are a duo from Portugal that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very raw, melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Ubique Diaboli Voluntas" which will be released on February 14th by Signal Rex.
A very fast and raw black metal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals bring in a more deep, angry and growling style and the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they are also done in a very melodic style along with one track also adding in a small amount of clean playing and some of the music also adds in a modern touch.
On this recording Ventr goes for more of a raw, melodic and old school form of black metal. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Violence themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ventr and if you are a fan of raw, melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Martyr's Gaze" and "Piercing The Eye With Devilish Poison". 8 out of 10.
