Lycantrophilia are an international duo with members from Germany and France that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a symphonic and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "The Tyranny Of Decay".
Spoken words start off the album before going into a very fast musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal while symphonic elements also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, angry shouts are also utilized at times as well as one track also adding in a brief use of clean playing and clear singing.
On this recording Lycantrophilia goes for a very aggressive, modern, melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Lycantrophilia and if you are a fan of melodic and symphonic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Carnivorous Forest" "Sung Through The Maw Of Nothingness" and "Sanctum of Silence". 8 out of 10.
