Dammerung are a band from Ukraine that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very aggressive and melodic style of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 album "Son of The Morning Star" which will be released on November 27th.
A very heavy and aggressive sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Growls are also used at times while the faster sections of the music also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Spoken words, whispers, clean playing and synths are also added in certain sections of the recording and some songs also bring in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts,. A couple of tracks are also very long an epic in length and one song also adds in a brief use of percussion and ethic style folk instruments.
On this recording Dammerung focuses more on a mid tempo, melodic and traditional style of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover honour, war and mysticism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dammerung and if you are a fan of melodic and mid tempo black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ares Rising" and "We Touch The Stars With Our Palms". 8 out of 10.
