Noctiferia are a band from Slovenia that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, death metal, experimental and avant garde and this is a review of their 2021 album "Reforma - Tribute To Laibach" which was released by Blood blast Distribution and consists their cover versions of the previous mentioned band.
Tribal style beats and ethnic instruments start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction. Vocals are in between death metal growls and black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the music also has its avant garde moments.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while some of the songs also add in session work from David Vincent, Atilla Csihar and Jorgen Munkeby. Melodies are also add in some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals also add in more of an aggressive yet semi melodic style at times.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a small amount of blast beats. Programmed beats can also be heard at times as well as one track also adding in a brief use of clear vocals and as the album progresses female vocals, keyboards and saxophones can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover political themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Noctiferia and if you are a fan of black, death metal, industrial, avant garde and experimental, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Now You Will Pay" "Eurovision" and "Das Spiel Ist Aus". 8 out of 10.
