This is a review of an earlier recording from Italy's Tele.S.Therion which shows their early style of acoustomatic black metal and this is a review of their album "Black Painting VIII-XI" which was originally produced in 2011 and released in 2020 by Radical Matters.
Dark soundscapes and noises start off the album while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. At times the music captures a very lo-fi atmosphere along with some drones also being utilized in certain sections of t he recording and the bass guitars add in the heaviness of black and doom metal.
All of the music is also instrumental while all of the songs also sound improvised while the percussions also add in some ritualistic touches. All of t he tracks also sound very different from each other along with the album also adding in harsh noises that are done by amplifiers mixed in with some power electronics.
On this recording Tele.S.Therion took black, doom metal, noise, experimental and drone and mixed them together to create a very diverse recording that was heavier than current releases as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Tele.S.Therion and if you are a fan of black, doom metal, drone, noise and experimental, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Paining VIII" and "Black Painting XI". 8 out of 10.
