Sweden's Ofermod have returned with a new recording which continues the orthodox and occult style of black metal from previous releases and this is a review of their 2025 album "Drakosophia" which will be released in Cctober as a joint effort between Shadow and Regain Records.
A very fast, raw and melodic sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams while the music is very heavily rooted in the classic Swedish era as well as the recording also adding in a great amount of death metal elements.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style along with some clear vocals also being utilized at times, synths are also added into the background on a few tracks.
On this recording Ofermod continues the expand on the orthodox and occult style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Theistic Satanism, Left Hand Path, Enochian and the Draconian Current.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ofermod and if you are fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vinyards Of Gomorrah" "Zazas Zazas Nasatanaada Zazas" "Nox Draconis" and "The Painful Movers". 8 out of 10.
