Mortgrim are a solo project from Hungary that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very raw and atmospheric form of occult black metal with elements of doom metal and this is a review of his 2026 album "Evengelium Liciferianum" which will be released on Halloween by Fetzner Death Records.
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. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the slower sections of the music adding in elements of doom metal and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with the recording also having its atmospheric moments.
Spoken words can also be heard briefly and some of the tracks also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of tracks also being instrumentals that also add in a small amount of synths. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Luciferian, Goetia, Occultism, Left Hand Path and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mortgrim and if you are a fan of raw and atmospheric occult b lack metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Majesty Of The Morning Star" "Eternal Rite" and "Lament Of Goetia". 8 out of 10.
