Greece's solo project Apocalyptic Leaders have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw, melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 2026 album "Tenebtis Nox Immortuae" which was released by War Productions.
Gregorian chants and percussion style instruments start off the album while also adding in a brief use of synths before going into a heavier direction. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
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. Atmospheric sounds can also be heard at times along with the album being very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre and the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the riffs also adding in a lot of melody.
On this recording Apocalyptic leaders goes for a very r aw, old school, melodic and atmospheric form of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover suffering, death and spiritual damnation.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Apocalyptic leaders and if you are a f an of atmospheric, melodic, old school and raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Verge Of Madness" "The Howling Of Wolves" and "Tenebris Nox Immortuae". 8 out of 10.
