Saturnian Current are a solo project from Atlanta, Georgia that plays an avant garde form of occult black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Illuminatio Doctrinae mysterii" which was released by Sinistrari Records.
Synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. The album also adds in a good mixture of both old school and modern influences along with the songs also adding in a lot of avant garde touches as well as the vocals also getting very deep sounding at times.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing, acoustic guitars and clear singing, the album also has its atmospheric moments, spoken words can also be heard on a few songs. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Hermeticism, Alchemy and Ancient Esoteric Philosophy.
In my opinion Saturnian Current are a very great sounding avant garde occult black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Elysium In Exilio (Doctrina Mysterii I: Explicatio)" "In Transcendent Rupture (Cultus Caerimonia II: Sacramentum Claudit)" and "Monarch Of The Saturnian Realms (Doctrina Mysterii II: Oratio Finalis)". 8/5 out of 10.
