Ibex Angel Order are a duo from the Netherlands that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "II : Void Sermon" which will be released in July by Void Wanderer Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds speed a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the recording also adds in a lot of old school touches.
When spoken words are utilized they also add in more of a ritualistic atmosphere while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the guitar leads also being done in a very dark y et melodic style when they are utilized.
A couple of tracks also adds in a small amount of dark soundscapes and synths as well as one song also adding in a brief use of clear vocals along with the music also being heavily rooted in the Swedish orthodox style. The production while the lyrics cover Luciferian, Abraxas, Demonology, Occultism, Left Hand Path and Ritualistic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Ibex Angel Order and if you are a fan of occult black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Void Sermon" "Belial Invoked" and "Archons Dethroned". 8/5 out of 10.
