Enterré Vivant are an international duo with members from France and Japan that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on the recording plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Kurogoku" which will be released in October by Transcendence.
Raw tremolo picking starts off the album before going into a faster direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and when synths are utilized they also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Female vocals are also used in certain sections of the album along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and Asian style folk instruments, some of the songs also adds in a small amount of spoken words and chants.
On this recording Enterré Vivant continue to expand on the modern and atmospheric style of black metal that they have introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Japanese and cover the six realms of reincarnation from Buddhist teachings.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Enterré Vivant and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ningendô" and "Shuradô". 8 out of 10.
