This is a review of another recording from Italy's Cultus Sanguine which shows the music going for mixture of black, doom and gothic metal and the album was originally released in 1999 and called "The Sum of All Fears" and was re-issued in 2024 by My Kingdom Music.
Stringed instruments start off the album before going into a heavier doom metal direction which also mixes in some keyboards. A lot of the vocals are done in a angry spoken style while the clear vocals add in touches of gothic metal and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while some of the songs also add in a small amount of clean playing. Elements of black and dark metal can also be heard at times along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing and the whole album sticks to a slower direction.
On this album Cultus Sanguine focused more on a dark metal style which kept the elements of goth and doom metal from their previous release and focused less on the black metal side. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, depression, solitude and life and a couple of tracks are also written in Italian.
In my opinion this as another great sounding recording from Cultus Sanguine and if you are a fan of black, d ark, doom and gothic metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Sum Of All Fears" "A Grave Upon Mankind" and "As A Funeral Inside". 8 out of 10.
