Shamorga are a solo project from Estonia that plays a very experimental and avant garde form of black metal with elements of dark ambient and death industrial and this is a revie w of his self released 2025 album "Mordia".
Programmed beats start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams when they are used. At times the music also gets very dissonant and experimental sounding along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the guitar leads adding in more of darker style, stringed instruments can also be heard briefly.
One song also adds in a brief use of clear chants along with the recording also going into more of an experimental direction at times. and some tracks add in elements of death industrial and dark ambient, spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the song themes focus on psychological horror.
In my opinion Shamorga are a very great sounding experimental and avant garde black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Aelory" "Gelindox" and "Shatana". 8 out of 10.
