Costa Rica/Germany's Umbra Conscientia have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "The Shrine Of Thagirion" which will be released in December by Terratur Possessions.
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. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are done in more of an angry black metal style.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. The music also captures an old school aggression and updates it with the more modern era of the genre along with a couple of tracks also being very long and epic in length and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Umbra Conscientia brings out a very fast and aggressive style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism and Philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Umbra Conscientia and if you are a fan of fast and aggressive black emtal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Solace Denied" and "Throne Of Fear". 8 out of 10.
