Fiat Noctum are a duo from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "Insinuant".
A very dark sounding intro starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly grim sounding 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 and melodies are also added into some of guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's to early 2000's era of the genre. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some deeper vocals also being used briefly and one track also adds in a small amount of acoustic guitars.
On this recording Fiat Noctum brings out more of a raw and old school style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover human decomposition and the slow process of death.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Fiat Noctum and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Insektsfauna" and "Manniskovalvets Sekret". 8 out of 10.
