This is the final review of an album from Hordes Of The Lunar Eclipse with the musical style melodic, raw and primitive sounding black metal and this is a review of their 2012 album "Solstice" 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 strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing t hat dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding along with a great amount of melody being thrown into the riffing as well as some thrash and crust influences, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars which are only used briefly they use finger picking and full chords to add some more original elements to the recording with some guitar slides. .
Vocals range from grim sounding black metal screams to more aggressive melodic sounding vocals being utilized at times as well some samples, whispers and crust style shouting, while the lyrics cover darkness, nature and occult themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful and heavy sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hordes Of The Lunar Eclipse and if you are a fan of diverse, melodic, grim, raw and primitive black metal, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Demon Of Air" "Blasphemer In Shadow" and "Hunger". RECOMMENDED BUY.
