Today’s review is of Italian Black Metal band Ad Noctem Funeriis’ new album.
This release offers rapid, frigid and furious Black Metal completely bathed in the dark waters of old-school mastery. As expected from a veteran band, they have delivered a solid full-length that may please any fan of the third wave.
Nonetheless, it always sticks to the general formula for an aggressive display of satanic mayhem, leaving no space for innovation and thus losing any chance of acquiring freshness. The listener mustn’t expect anything new, but a classic assault of pure Black Metal will surely be delivered. As so, it’s much more recommendable to fans of the old-school than to anyone expecting something different. While this direction has been already thoroughly explored, this release is a good example of it, and it has some great epic auras. My personal highlights are “Abyss II” and “Fire I”.
I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
