This is a review of a collaboration between Italy's Tele.S.Therion and Greece's solo project Stelios Romaliadas called "In Umbra Malitiae Ambulabo In Aeternum In Triumpho Tenebrarum" which was released in 2023 by Radical Matters and it shows the music going for a mixture of acoustomatic black metal , experimetnal and avant garde.
Ambient style drones start off the album which also mixes in with the more experimental and avant garde side of the music. Flutes are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the percussions also give the recording more of a ritualistic feeling when they are introduced in the first chapter.
Demonic voices can also be heard briefly while spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. Electric bass guitars are also brought into the music as more of a lead instrument along with the slower sections of the heavier parts being very heavily rooted in a drone style of doom metal. Black metal screams are also utilized at times as well as the whole album also being improvised as well as some electric guitar sounds also being added halfway through the album
On this recording Tele.S.Therion and Stelios Romaliadas mix there 2 different styles together to create something very slow, dark, heavy and experimental sounding while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collaboration between Tele.S.Therion and Stelios Romaliadas and if you are a fan of experiemtnal, drone, avant garde and black metal, you should check out this recording. 8 out of 10.
