Mortgrim are a solo project from Hungary that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal with elements of doom metal and this is a review of his self released 2026 album "Blasphemy".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Synths can also be heard at times along with the music also having its atmospheric moments as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the album while the album also brings a very modern approach to the genre. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can also be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with most of the recording sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks.
Mortgrim plays a style of black metal that is very modern, raw and atmospheric sounding as well as adding in elements of doom metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Luciferian, Spirituality, Philosophical and Blasphemous themes.
In my opinion Mortgrim are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal solo project with elements of doom metal and if you are a f an of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lucifer Lex Aeterna" and "Cathexis". 8 out of 10.
