Angrenost are a band from Portugal that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an esoteric from of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "magna Lua Ordem Mistica" which will be released on November 17th by EAL Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are done in mostly an angry spoken black metal style as well a few grim screams and the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some synths also being utilized on a few tracks.
One of the tracks also introduces melodic guitar solos and leads onto the recording along with the music also adding in influences from both the modern and old school era's of the genre as well as one track also adding in a brief use of evil laughter. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Portuguese and cover the evil within man, diabolical and esoteric themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Angrenost and if you are a fan of esoteric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Côncava: Fornalha lunar... os abismos da Manifestação" "Água Real: Na ampulheta o diabo, enxofre por firmamento" and "Balsâmica: Nos fumos esquecimento, dédalos de enxofre". 8 out of 10.
