Ydolothytum "Conjuring The Primaevil Creatures" CD Digipack

The lyrics on this album were inspired by and come directly from Maciej Bogusz Stęczyński's work "Tatra Mountains in twenty-four pictures" (1860). We have reinterpreted several fragments and added some of our own elements to the glory of the primal evil creatures mentioned here.

Digipack limited to 200 copies.

Ydolothytum  are  an  international  band  with  embers  from  Italy  and  Poland  that  has  had  music  reviewed  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  plays  an  old  school  mixture  of  black  and  folk  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2024  album  "Conjuring  The  Primaevil  Creatures"  which  was  released  by  Crush  The  Desert  Records.

Folk  instruments  start  off  the  album  and  also  brings  in  more  an  ancient  pagan   atmosphere  as  well  as  mixing  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  songs  at  times.  Spoken  word  parts  can  also  be  heard  briefly  along  with  a  lot  of  the  vocals  also  being  done  in  a  clear  style  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  the  more  aggressive  vocals  also  bring  in  elements  of  black  metal.  When  keyboards  are  utilzied  they  also  give  the  songs  more  of  an  atmospheric  touch  along  with  the  music  also  being  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  era  and  all  of  the  songs  stick  to  either  a  slow  or  mid  tempo  direction,  when  guitar  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style.

On this recording Ydolothytum remains true to the old school black/folk metal style they had established on their demo. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics are written in Polish and are based upon Maciej Bogusz Stęczyński's work "Tatra Mountains in twenty-four pictures" from 1860 with their own version of the primeval creatures mentioned there..

In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ydolothytum and if you are a fan of old school black/folk metal, you should check out this album.
