Australia's Dusk Cult have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Folklore Disciple" which will be released in August.
Fire sounds start off the album along with some keyboards a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are a mixture of growls and high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school eta along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks along with a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars, clear singing clean playing can also be heard briefly as well as one track also being an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the folklore and historical aspects of the dusk cult mythos.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dusk Cult and if you are a fan of melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Canopy Of Mercury Light" "The Woodsman Of Bavaria" and "Enduring Purpose". 8 out of 10.
