U.S.A's duo Feral Lord have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very raw and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Wunjo" which will be released in August by Malevolent Sound.
A very dark yet distorted sound starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.
A lot of the music is also very heavily influenced by the old school era while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of melody at times along with the solos and leads also adding in more of a chaotic style when they are utilized and clean playing is also added briefly towards the end
On this recording Feral lord moves away from the dissonant, experimental, technical and progressive elements of previous releases and focuses more on a raw and depressive form of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Nordic Runes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Feral Lord and if you are a fan of raw and depressive black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ansuz". 8 out of 10.
