Sweden's Voodus have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Emanating Sparks" which will be released on February 28th as a joint effort between Shadow and Regain Records.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gibes the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, clean playing also returns on later tracks and a lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the classic Swedish style and keyboards are also used briefly towards the end.
On this recording Voodus goes for a very aggressive, melodic and traditional form of occult black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Voodus and if you are a fan of melodic and aggressive occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Emanating Sparks" and "Where The Whispering Wind Blows". 8 out of 10.
