Italy's Tele.S.Therion has returned with a new recording which shows them expanding on their acousmatic style of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "VERB.D.SVM C.S.T ARCON" which will be released on Halloween by Radical Matters.
Dark soundscapes and drones start off the album while also adding in some heavy guitar riffing that is very heavily rooted in black and doom metal. At times the music also gets very experimental and avant garde sounding along with the percussion also taking the recording into more of a ritualistic direction.
The only track that is presented on this recording is also very close to being 80 minutes in length while a lot of the music also sounds improvised. Trumpets, trombones and daxophones can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the distorted guitar amp sounds also adding in touches of noise.
The whole album also sticks to an instrumental direction along with the music also getting more diverse sounding as the track progresses. At times the music also captures the atmosphere of nightmares and violent hallucinations as well as some fast drumming and blast beats also being utilized briefly and after almost an hour piano's are also introduced onto the recording, a small amount of melody can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while the production also sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tele.S.Therion and if you are a fan of avant garde, experimental and ritualistic black and doom metal, you should check out tihs album. 8 out of 10.
