This is a review of a collaboration between Italy's Tele.S.Therion and Wilderness Perversion better known for his work in Mortuary Drape and the music goes for an acousmatic form of black metal and the album is called "Grimoire XIII" and was released in 2020 by Radical Matters.
Grim black metal vocals and ritualistic chants start off the album while the bass guitars bring in elements of doom metal and are used as a lead instrument on the recording. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with all of the music also being improvised and spoken word parts can also be heard at times.
The album also has its experimental and avant garde moments while harsh noises and drones are also added into certain sections of the recording. Sound effects are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with some demonic voices also being utilized at times and all of the tracks stick to a slower direction.
On this recording Tele.S.Therion and Wilderness Perversion mix their 2 different styles together and create a very ritualistic and experimental sounding album t hat captures the heaviness and black and doom metal while the song themes focuses on grimoires and rituals.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collaboration between Tele.S.Therion and Wilderness Perversion and if you are a fan of experimental and ritualistic black and doom metal, you should check out this album. 8 out of 10.
