This is
the first full length from the Finnish black metal due Moonkult which is currently comprised of “Moonlord Akhkharu” and “Niflungr”.
Moonkult conjure an impressively raw, heavy
sound that combined with strong vocal work from Moonlord Akhkharu that shifts
from almost death growls at times, to more typical screams gives this album a bludgeoning
and oppressive feel which is backed by its pounding drum programming.
The album
also features some fairly complex and unusual riff work (also from Moonlord
Akhkharu) that was surprising when compared to the albums darker more
simplistic core.
The album
becomes increasingly aggressive and raw as it progresses, so by the time the
listener gets to the last two or three tracks they are practically being punched
in the face repeatedly by the pounding drum programming and ever increasingly
raw vocals, this is a feature of the album that I was impressed and pleased by.
Overall
this is probably nothing new in wider terms of black metal as a genre but if you’re
looking for some raw pounding black metal to attack yourself with, then I fully
recommend checking this album out.
