Noctambulant are a band from Mexico that plays a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2015 rp "Legions Of Hell".
A bass guitar lead starts off the ep before adding in some heavy riffing while the solos and leads are done an a very dark and old school death metal style but also having their melodic moments. The riffs also add in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with the tremolo picking showing an influence of black metal as well as the screams also being rooted in that genre. A good amount of 90's influences can also be heard in the bands musical style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
One of the tracks is very long and epic in length and also introduces clean playing onto the recording, elements of thrash can be heard in some of the riffing and they close the ep with a cover of Judas Priest's "Breaking The Law". The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism, Anti Christianity, Hatred and Violence themes.
In my opinion Noctumbulant are a very great sounding blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Into The Satan's Dominium" and "Slaughter". 8 out of 10.
