Imprecation are a band from Texas that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very blasphemous and satanic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Damnatio Ad Bestias" which will be released in March by Dark Descent Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album along with some horror movie style keyboards also being utilized at times. Morbid sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are done in a very early 90's style as well as the vocals also bringing in a great amount of death metal growls.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of doom/death metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs as w ell as the music also adding in some black metal influences at times.
At times the music also gets very ritualistic sounding in some parts of the recording while keeping the main focus more on a heavier style. As the album progresses some of the guitar leads also start incorporating some dark sounding melodies. The production sounds very dark and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Imprecation and if you are a fan of satanic and blasphemous blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Temple Of The Foul Spirit" "Beasts Of The Infernal Void" and "Ageless Ones Of None". 8 out of 10.
