Greece's Emperor Of Myself have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and blackened form of gothic metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Vita Post Mortem" which was released by Hellenic Metal World.
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album before going into a heavier direction while elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower parts of the songs along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic gothic metal style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly black metal screams while growls can also be heard at times along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with a small amount of blast beats also being utilized when the music gets more aggressive, spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks and most of the album also sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
On this recording Emperor of myself remains true to the atmospheric and blackened style of gothic metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Anti Religion and Life themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Emperor Of Myself and if you are a fan of atmospheric and blackened gothic metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As My Soul Burns" "The Wait" and "Legion". 8 out of 10.
