As per the previous post on here, Moonthoth is releasing a new album on the 7th of February.
Moonthoth is a one-man band from Poland, Nocturnal, and Uroczysko is his second full-length.
It's the first time that I hear Moonthoth, so didn't know quite what to expect. I like it. It is varied. It is not the traditional raw music, so don't expect that. But expect a good dose of emotions. There is anger, there is melancholy, there is sadness, and there is a lot of life too, as strange as if may sound. The keyboards are something else, touching perfection. Bringing the perfect sensation to each song.
It's a slower kind of music than what we are usually used to when we think of Black Metal. However, doesn't lose the strength and the power for one bit even so.
It is quite melodic at times, quite dark and obscure as well. Quite deep and full of feel.
Uroczysko ha 9 tracks and my favourite might be Żalnik. It is quite a strong and powerful song, very heavy and melodic at the same time. It is so dark and beautiful.
Moonthoth sounds mostly like Black Metal, but there are some doom influences there that don't go unnoticed. And they are very welcome too, to be honest. Very well performed and everything so well mixed and matched. Original and different.
It is important to point out that Uroczysko has a number of guests in its songs as you may see below.
With that being said, I am also very impressed with the song Popielnik. And also, the last track Chram Chorsa might be the most unexpected song of the album. Good unexpected.
It's a slightly different type of music, but it is a very good album indeed.

Nocturnal - music, lyrics, instruments, additional voice
Mateusz Sibila - vocals
Guests:
Kyriake - vocal on Popielnik
