Theratos are a solo project from Gibraltar that plays a raw and experimental mixture of dark ambient and depressive black metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "14.01..Order.Screwed".
Field recordings start off the album while harsh noises can also be heard at times and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. A lot of the album also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere along with the songs also going into a very experimental direction at times and melodies are also added into some of the heavier riffing.
Vocals are mostly depressive black metal screams while some of the songs also add in a good amount of spoken words. Each song also sounds very different from each other along with the album also adding in elements of dark ambient at times along with one track also adding in more of a ritualistic direction.
Some of the guitar riffing also adds in more of a raw style along with the heavier tracks also sticking to a slower direction. Melodic chants can also be heard briefly as well as a later track also adding in a brief use of clean playing. The production sounds very dark and r aw w hile the lyrics cover Occultism, Blasphemy and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Theratos are a very great sounding raw and experimental mixture of dark ambient and depressive black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fouls Reflextions Of My Incestors" "Severed Antiquity" and "Walking In The Shadows Between Worlds". 8 out of 10.
