Israel's Arallu have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a middle eastern style of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "DMoon - From The Ancient World" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath Records and More Hate Productions.
Middle Eastern style folk instruments start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in elements of thrash and death metal.
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. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also being one in a melodic style when they are utilized,
Spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with the album also going into an atmospheric direction at times and percussion is also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording, clean playing can also be heard on a few songs. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Sumerian My5thology, Satanism and the conflict between the 3 big religions in their homeland.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Arallu and if you are a fan of Middle Eastern style black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dingir Xul" "Ishtar Will Rise(The Sumerian words)" "The Devil's Massacre" and "Tzvaot ArallU". 8 out of 10.
