Venomous Invokation are a band from Knoxville, Tennessee that plays a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Ars Moriendi".
Clean playing starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the music also being very heavily in the 90's era and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very old school style and a lot of t he music sounds lime it could of been recorded and released 30 years ago.
Venomous Invokation plays a musical style that goes back to the 90's era of black and death metal. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Demonology, Left Hand Path and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Venomous Invokation 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 "War in heaven" and "Mistress of Blood". 8 out of 10.
