Lung Knots are a solo project from an unknown area that plays a mixture of black metal, harsh noise and drone and this is a review of his 2021 album "Go0lden Dirges, Molten Larynges" which will be released in May by Tartarus Records.
Harsh noises and power electronics start off the ep along with some programmed beats a few seconds later that also add in touches of industrial. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which also get deep yet aggressive in some parts of the recording while experimental style soundscapes are also added into the background at times.
Drones are also a very huge part of the album while the synths also give the music more of a dark atmosphere when they are utilized. When power electronics are utilized they also give the songs more of a harsher sound along with some tracks also adding in some powerful sounding bass sounds.
Melodic chants and vocals can also be heard briefly on a couple of the tracks and as the album progresses a brief use of keyboards are also utilized as well as a later song also introducing whispers and spoken word parts onto the recording. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover dark and disturbing themes.
In my opinion Lung Knots is a very great sounding mixture of black metal, harsh noise, industrial, experimental and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Void Hymnal" "Our Torches Soaked In Oil" and "Throat Flutters". 8 out of 10.
