Greece's Medieval Demon have returned with a new recording which continues the melodic and symphonic style of black metal from t heir previous releases and this is a review of their 2022 album "Black Coven" which will be released in September by Hells Headbangers Records.
Evil sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times as well as giving the recording more of a symphonic feeling. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody along with a couple of songs also being very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clear vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as a few tracks also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts which also gives the music more of a ritualistic feeling, saxophones are also utilized in some parts of the album. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Witchcraft, Greek Sorcery and Death Magick themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Medieval Demon and if you are a fan of melodic and symphonic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Where Witches Dwell And Labyrinths Confuse" "Baptismal Blood" and "The Grave Dwellers". 8/5 out of 10.
