Urachel are a solo project from Hungary that plays a very aggressive, melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "In The Name Of God".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the old school era and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as a later track also adding in a brief use of clean playing and one track is also a P. Mobil cover.
Urachel plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, melodic and traditional sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Hungarian and cover Satanism, Occultism, Paganism, Witchcraft and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Urachel is a very great sounding fast, melodic and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In The Name of God" "Lilith" Crown Of Madness" and "Pagany Krisztus". 8 out of 10.
