But then why mess with what has proved a winning formula for the band? Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult are true to the original black metal template, although their music has a better production job than, let’s say, Darkthrone’s classic A Blaze in the Northern Sky, but the atmosphere of black metal is present and correct, and not dressed up with fancy thrills, although Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult does utilise some haunting elements, such as backing clean vocals in Necrocosmic Vision, or a sample of music which at a guess dates around the 1940’s – 1950’s at the end of Upon My Arrival and of course the opening intro track Aura, which is more of an ambient piece.Īs an interesting note for those who are not familiar with the band, although you may not realise it to listen to them, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is actually a female fronted act, and their frontwoman Onielar deserves a special mention for her growl, which gives the atmosphere of the album a bit of extra venom. Necrovision is a definite case of a band doing what they do best without stepping out of their comfort zone. Released in 2013 this is the first major effort from the group in several years, the last being Saldorian Spell in 2009, although the band did do a split in 2011 with their fellow Germans Purgatory.
Necrovision is the fifth full-length album to be released by German black metal act Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult.
