Finland's solo project Spiritwood has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric, avant garde and experimental form of occult black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "The Apparition Of Horns' which will be released in May by Loudriver Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the tracks also adding in a lot of ambient and experimental touches and the synths also take the music into more of an atmospheric direction.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. Some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and one song also adds in a brief use of stringed instruments.
On this recording Spiritwood goes for a more avant garde, experimental and atmospheric style of occult black metal which is also very different from his previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover occultism, isolation and decay themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Spiritwood and if you are a fan of atmospheric, avant garde, experimental and occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Apparition Of Horns" and "Diagrams Of The Dying Multiverse". 8 out of 10.
