Outlaw are an international duo with members from Germany and Brazil that plays a very aggressive, melodic and occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Opus Mortis" which will be released on Halloween by AOP Records,
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 angry sounding black metal screams and a lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. A lot of the music also shows an influence of the Swedish style along with some of the tracks also being long and epic in length, clean playing and synths can also be heard on a few songs as well as the recording also having its atmospheric moments
Outlaw plays a style of black metal that is very fast, aggressive and melodic in the classic Swedish tradition. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Anti-Cosmic Luciferianism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Outlaw are a very great sounding fast, aggressive and melodic occult black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Through The Infinite Darkness" "Those Who Breathe Fire" and "Ruins Of Existence". 8 out of 10.
