Vulpecula where a band from Kansas City, Missouri that played a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2020 ep "Fons Immortalis" which will be re-issued in December 2020 by Nuclear War Now! Productions.
An ambient orientated synth intro starts off the ep before going into a heavier musical direction while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording along with the riffing also adding in some early 90's era death metal elements.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style while the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo style. The slower riffing also shows an influence of doom metal along with the ambient elements also making a return in some parts of the recording before returning back to a heavier direction.
Vulpecula played a musical style that was mostly rooted in a slow or mid tempo style of black metal as well as mixing in elements of ambient, doom and death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover astronomy, cosmology and esoterica themes.
In my opinion Vulpecula where 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 "Fons Immotalis" and "Seven Layers Of Light". 8 out of 10.
