Rienaus are a band from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an old school form of satanic black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Luciferille" which will be released in November by KVLT.
A very dark synth orientated intro starts off the album along with a brief use of females vocals before going into a heavier musical direction. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish style along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized.
On this recording Rienus sticks to more of a classic and Finnish style of satanic black metal. The production sounds very raw and old while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Satanism, Luciferianism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Rienus and if you are a fan of Finnish satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Luciferille" "Saatanan Vatakunnassa" and "Kuilu". 8 out of 10.
