United Kingdom's Cult Burial has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, doom, death and post metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Reverie Of The Malignant" which will be released in October.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while also adding in a brief use of atmospheric sounding synths. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic post metal style and elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the album also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats and some of the songs also bring in a mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing can also b e heard briefly.
On this recording Cult Burial remain true to the mixture of black, doom, death and post metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the depths of the human experience.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Cult Burial and if you are a fan of black, doom, death and post metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS NCLUDE "Awaken" "Strive" and "Oblivion". 8 out of 10.
