Italy's Heruka have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very modern and aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Panacea' which will be released on March 21st by Rude Awakening Records.
A very fast, raw and melodic sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams mixed in with a few growls while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while clear singing can also be heard at times. Symphonic overtones are also added into the background briefly and the songs also mix the more traditional side of the genre in with the more modern era, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and clean playing is also added towards the end.
On this recording Heruka brings in a more modern and aggressive approach to black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover poetry and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heruka and if you are a fan of modern and aggressive black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Peisithanatos" and "Panacea". 8 out of 10.
