Mystical Fullmoon are a band from Italy that plays a very avant garde and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "Chtonian Theogony" which was released by Beyond Productions.
Dark avant garde sounds start off the album along with some spoken word parts that are also used on some of the other tracks as well and after the intro the music goes into more of an orchestrated style of melodic black metal which also brings in fast parts, blast beats and grim screams along with a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
At time s the synths can be very experimental sounding and a good portion of the tracks are very long and epic in length and when solos and leads are added into the music they bring in a very melodic and talented sound to the bands musical style and as the album progresses acoustic guitars are added into certain sections of the recording along with a few songs that are in more of an avant garde and experimental direction along with a few tracks bringing in a small amount of melodic Gregorian chants and saxophones.
Mystical Fullmoon plays a style of black metal that is very symphonic while also being melodic, avant garde and experimental at the same time and you can hear a great amount of talent, skill and originality in their musical sound, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the writings of H.P Lovecraft, Esoterism, and Dark Poetry themes.
In my opinion Mystical Fullmoon are a very great sounding symphonic and avant garde black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "An Outermost Resonance" "A Red And Black Sacrament" "After the Coil" and "Dream brother". 8 out of 10.
