Hordes Of The Lunar Eclipse/Dancing Demons In The Greylit Candle/Dark Horizon Records/2004 CD Review


  This  is  a  review  of  another  album  from  Hordes  Of  The  Lunar  Eclipse  with  the  musical  style  being  avant  garde,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  occult  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2004  album  "Dancing  Demons  In  The  Greylit  Candle"  which  was  released  by  Dark  Horizon  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars,  as  for  the  violins  they  are  only  used  briefly  on  one  song  and  they  bring  a  very  dark  and  avant  garde  sound  to  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  melodic,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  with  some  avant  garde  elements  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  black  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams   with  some  deep  growls  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times  as  well  as  some  spoken  word  samples,  clean  singing  and  occult  chanting,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  occult  and  mysticism  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  Hordes  Of  The  Lunar  Eclipse  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  avant  garde,  melodic,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  occult  black  metal,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "In  The  Service  Of  The  Stormlord"  "And  Blood  Became  Snow"  "Dancing  Demons  In  The  Grey  Lit-Candle"  and  "Anointing  Of  The  Sick".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
