Eldur is a solo artist from Iceland that plays a very modern and occult form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Rituals Of Death And Necromancy" which will be released in November by ATMF.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic post metal style.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the recording. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with some whispers also being used briefly, when synths are utilized they also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling.
Some of the songs are also long and epic in length along with some clean playing also being utilized on a couple of tracks and all of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them and the recording also has its progressive moments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Necromancy, occultism, Norse Mythology and Death themes.
In my opinion Eldur are a very great sounding modern occult black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Exiled" "Murder And A Curse" and "Undead". 8 out of 10.
