Vigljos are a band from Switzerland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Tome II - Ignis Sacwe" which will be released in September by Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions.
Medieval sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which also adds in a depressive touch while the music is heavily influenced by the 90's second wave era. Some of the mid tempo sections adds in elements of black'n'roll along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Mellotron's are also added on a few tracks along with some of the riffing also adding in a small amount of melody as well as the recording also having its atmospheric moments and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them, one track also adds in a brief use of clean playing. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover the phenomenon of ergotism.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vigljos and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Seed Of Aberration" "Delusions Of Grandeur" and "Harvest". 8 out of 10.
