ILLT are a solo project from Norway that plays a mixture of black, death, thrash metal and doom rock and this is a review of his 2021 album "Urhat" which was released by indie Recordings.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs. Apocalyptic soundscapes are also utilized briefly along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Vocals are done in more of an aggressive thrash/groove metal style while death metal growls are also utilized at times. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard along with the tremolo picking also mixing in influences of black metal and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also having their chaotic moments. Whispers can also be heard briefly as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, touches of black'n'roll can also be heard in the mid tempo sections of the songs.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard on a couple of songs along with one track also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and there is also some session work from embers of Megadeath, Soilwork, Chrome Division and Nile. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anger, hopelessness, contempt for the human race, and the dark4est sides of religion, politics and de-evolution.
In my opinion ILLT are a very great sounding mixture of black, death, thrash metal and doom rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Millennial Judas" "Scythian King" and "The End Of All Things". 8 out of 10.
