Costa Rico's Dusk have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and industrial form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "Repoka" which will be released in August.
Industrial soundscapes and beats start off the ep and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the harsh vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the recording. Synths are also utilized at times and all of the drum beats are also programmed as well as the closing track also being a Slayer cover. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover shamanism, demons and darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding from Dusk and if you are a fan of atmospheric and industrial black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dark Shaman" and "Raining Blood". 8 out of 10.
