V:XII is a solo project from Sweden that plays a mixture of black, doom metal, industrial, drone, dark ambient and noise and this is a review of his 2020 album "Rom, Rune And Ruin: The Odium Disciplina" which will be released on February 29th by Aesthetic Death.
Power electronics start off the album along with some black metal screams a few seconds later while the music also adds in a decent amount of ritualistic soundscapes. Atmospheric sounding drones are also a very huge part of the recording as well as some of the tracks being very long and epic in length.
Industrial style programmed beats are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album while the music also gets very experimental at times. Harsh noises are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the spoken word parts also enhancing the ritualistic side of the music as well as some tracks also adding in elements of dark ambient and all of the songs also sound very different from each other, synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
V:XII plays a musical style that takes black, doom metal, industrial, drone, dark ambient and noise and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Darkness, Occultism and Norse Rune themes.
In my opinion V:XII are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom metal, industrial, drone, dark ambient and noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The New Black" "Ururz" and "Vanagandr". 8 out of 10.
