Philippines/Canada's solo project Kratornas has returned with a new recording which showed the music going for a progressive form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "God Of The Tribes" which will be released in August by Grathila Records.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding along with the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
The album also has its technical and dissonant moments while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Chants can also be heard briefly along with some of the music also adding in atmospheric and ritualistic touches and most of the recording sticks to more of a mid tempo direction, acoustic guitars and synths are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Kratornas continues the expand on the progressive black metal style that he introduced on his previous ep. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover doomsday themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Kratornas and if you are a fan of progressive black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cursed Sky Serpent" and "Ravaged By Hurakaan". 8 out of 10.
