Царетворец (Russia) — Мертвецы хоронят мертвецов — 2024 full length

The debut of this duet from Volgograd. At first glance, considering the cover art, I would think this would be one of those acts that would pursue a more orthodox path of black metal, but obviously is not the case here. While the structure is obviously black metal, there is a clear focus on bringing a great amount of harmonies, as such there are many breaks and transitions with post black textures as well as atmospheric black. This makes the guitar work quite intricate and a strong point in this work. However, the same can be said about the vocals as they allow the songwriting to delve on softer routes while they still deliver a good amount of aggression while still being discernible lyric wise, and taking the listener back to the needed feistiness this genre needs. This is one of those projects that, with such remarkable start, makes you wonder how further it will develop while these two artists try to expand themselves in their art form. “A cruel world ruled by a mad tyrant, corroded from within by ambition and malice. He annihilates anyone who stands in his way. His closest and most loyal followers meet their demise at his hands. The album is imbued with the darkness of dungeon captivity, the heat of battles, and the sorrow of solitude. ’Bones will be covered in ashes, under the stars in the fields. No suffering and pain, fear is unknown to the dead.” Cassette available through the label’s Bandcamp Band: Царетворец Album: Мертвецы хоронят мертвецов (The dead bury the dead) Year: 2024 Label: Svanrenne Music Genre: Black Metal Country: Russian Federation Царетворец: Svanrenne Music: @svanrennemusic/ Recording - Bestial Barlog Studio () Artwork - Rotten Fantom () Tracklist: 1.
