Minnesota's solo project Kostnatění has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a technical and progressive form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Přílišnost (Excess)" which will be released in November by Willowtrip Records.
Stringed instruments start off the album before going into more of a heavy and technical direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some synths also being utilized at times and the music also has its progressive moments.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while death metal growls are also utilized at times. At times some of the riffing also adds in some dissonant touches along with the tremolo picking in the faster sections also giving the album more of a raw feeling, a couple of songs also adds in a small amount of clear singing
On this recording Kostnatění brings out a very technical, progressive, modern and dissonant style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Czech and English and cover introspective themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kostnatění and if you are fan of dissonant, progressive and technical black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Křehký bůh (Fragile God)" "Mrtvola Jupitera (Corpse of Jupiter)" "Znal jsem tě (I Knew You)" and " Přílišnost (Excess)". 8 out of 10.
