Tenebras are an international duo with members from Mexico and Greece that plays a blackened form of death metal with some elements of folk and doom metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "Mora" which was released by Death Portal Studio.
Acoustic guitars start off the album and they also bring in elements of folk music before going into a heavier direction which also introduces death metal growls onto the recording while female vocals are also used quite a bit throughout the recording along with blast beats being utilized when the music speeds up.
The riffs also bring in a great amount of melody and black metal elements while the folk influences are also added into the heavier sections of the songs along with the slower riffing being very heavily rooted in doom metal as well as the guitar leads being done in a very dark and melodic style.
Tragic sounding keyboards can also be heard briefly while the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses grim screams, tremolo picking and spoken word parts are also added onto the recording along with a later track also introducing stringed instruments into the music as well as a couple of tracks being instrumentals.
Tenebras plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in blackened death metal while also adding in some folk and doom metal influences at times, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Darkness, Satanism, Occultism and Folklore themes.
In my opinion Tenebras are a very great sounding blackened death metal duo with touches of folk and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mora" "Satanic Enchantment" "Lasmashtu" and "Chokani (La Llorna)". 8 out of 10.
