Pokuta are a band from Poland that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Metanoia" which will be released on Halloween by Via Nocturna.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams while the music is very heavily influenced by the old school era of the genre and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Keyboards are also added into certain sections of the recording along with some rain and thunder sounds also being used on a couple of songs, some of the tracks also adds in a small amount of clean playing.
The music also mixes in touches of the more modern atmospheric style and a later song is also an instrumental, clear singing can also be heard briefly and when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in more of a melodic style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover philosophical themes.
In my opinion Pokuta are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mortal Coil" and "The Chosen One". 8 out of 10.
