Konigreichssaal are a band from Poland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an avant garde mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Psalmen'o'delirium" which will be released in June by Godz ov War Productions.
The sounds of wolves howling and dogs barking start off the album along with some synths a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. 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.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks along with one song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them,
Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the music also having its avant garde moments. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as one track also introducing clear vocals onto the album, stringed instruments can also be heard briefly and spoken word parts are also utilized at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover dark and philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Konigreichssaal and if you are a fan of avant garde black and doom metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rubikon" "Delirio" and "Satyros". 8 out of 10.
