Greece's Ambrotos have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a philosophical and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Atrocious Chants" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath Records and WP Productions.
Choirs and medieval battle sounds start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of growls and black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in more of an old school style along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of synths which also gives the recording more of an avant garde touch.
Clean playing can also be heard on a few songs along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word samples and the closing track is also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album which covers the figure of Satan through the lens of medieval Christian references.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ambrotos and if you are a fan of philosophical and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Thy Messengers" "Horned Gods" and "Satan Triumphant". 8 out of 10.
