Greece's Medieval Demon have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "All Powers Of Darkness" which will be released in August by Hells Headbangers Records.
Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, when spoken words are utilized they also add in more of a ritualistic atmosphere and choirs are also utilized at times as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and folk and wind instruments are also added towards the end.
On this recording Medieval Demon remain true to the melodic and symphonic style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Demonology, Black Arts and Left Hand Path 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 "Raging Lord Of The Deeps" "Fullmoon Over The Temple Of Belial" and "All Powers Of Darkness". 8 out of 10.
