Cruentus are a band from Sweden that plays a melodic and old school mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of his self released 2020 album "Night Embrace Me".
A very fast sound with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats start off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched yet black metal screams. The riffs also bring in a great amount of thrash metal elements along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody which also adds in touches of melodic Swedish death emtal.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the songs also add in a great amount of 90's influences but also keeps it modern at the same times. All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them along with one song also introducing growls onto the recording and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction, when guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style.
Cruentus plays a musical style that takes the melodic and old school forms of black, death and thrash metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the different emotions coherent with being a human and the diversities of life itself and our coexistence with the present reality.
In my opinion Cruentus are a very great sounding melodic and old school mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Slain" "Accidental Suicide" "Second of the Season" and "Each Dawn I Die". 8 out of 10.
