Lithik are a solo project from Australia that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Geomorphology".
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom metal. The solos and leads also add in a lot of melody along with the vocals being mostly grim blackened metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while one of the tracks is also long and epic in length. One song also introduces clean playing onto the album along with the music also showing an influence of the 90's melodic doom/death metal era as well as one song also adding in a brief use of blast beats and fast playing and most of the recording sticks to a slower direction.
On this album Lithik remains true to the blackened style of doom metal that he has established on his previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the subtilties and brutalities of our ever -changing world.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Lithik and if you are a fan of blackened doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Germination In Fire" "Eruption" "Mass Extinction" and "Glacial". 8 out of 10.
