Scotland's Tyrannus have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric mixture of black, death, thrash metal and post punk and this is a review of their 2026 album "Mournhold" which will be released on May 15th by True Cult Records.
Synths start off the album before going into a very fast direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in touches of post punk and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When keyboards and clean playing is utilized they also take the music into more of an atmospheric direction along with the riffs also adding in elements of death and thrash metal as well as some of the vocals adding in more of a thrash metal style and clear singing can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Tyrannus takes and atmospheric form of black metal and mixes it with death, thrash metal and post punk to create something very different from previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Lovecraftian Horror and Anti Fascism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tyrannus and if you are a fan of atmospheric black, death, thrash metal and post punk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Violent Inheritance" "Flesh Eternal" and "Back To Grey'. 8 out of 10.
