Italy's solo project Prometeus have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very progressive and avant garde form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2026 album "Contemptus Deorum".
Avant garde style keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some of the riffs also adding in melodies.
At times the music also gets symphonic sounding while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast b eats and tremolo picking which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. along with the album also having its progressive moments and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of spoken words and clear singing as well as some tracks also bringing in a small amount of growls, clean playing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover death and nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording form Prometeus and if you are a fan of avant garde and progressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Oceano" "Fenrir" and "Mneemosine". 8 out of 10.
