Italy's Heruka have returned with a new recording which shows them bringing their modern and aggressive style of black metal to the concert setting and this is a review of their live 2026 album "Live in Rome" which will b e released in March by Rude Awakening Records.
Symphonic sounding keyboards and orchestration start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can b e heard which also gives the songs more of a r aw feeling 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 vocals also add in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls. 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, spoken words and clear singing can also be heard briefly and their is also some audience reaction in between the tracks
On this recording Heruka focused more on their newer material of the last few albums in the live setting. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover introspection, surrealism and visionary themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heruka and if you are a fan of modern and aggressive black metal, you should check out this live album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Zoryas - Emho's Army" "Npo Sun Dared paa Our Windows" "Francis Bacon" and "Coisomo - Decption's End". 8 out of 10.
