Muruth "Ubi Concordia, Ibi Victoria MMXX" CD Digipack

Raw War Black Metal with members of Poprava and new drummer of Graveland, Ahrin.

The result of their collaboration is the EP and the reviewed full-length album "Ubi Concordia, Ibi Victoria," released a year ago. And here came a rather pleasant surprise. I expected to encounter rampant black metal filled with a warlike atmosphere. Instead, I received a blend of black metal with a hint of death metal, maintained in slower tones with occasional accelerating riffs.
The fog-of-war atmosphere throughout the album deserves praise, blending perfectly with the notes of depression and decay. It's enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Vocally, it's strongly reminiscent of the aforementioned Poprava, but that's by no means a downside. KAT's guttural howl is hypnotizing and impossible to tear yourself away from. However, while everything else there seems to be about to fall apart, here he strives to maintain a much slower vocal style. The entire album consists of eight tracks with a total length of no more than 35 minutes. You could say it's just right, as a slight dullness creeps in around the penultimate track. It's not bad, but I think everyone knows that Krzysiek from LSS wouldn't touch shit. I recommend checking out this material for the vocals and that hideous soundtrack alone. If things keep going like this, the next release could be a real shot to the back of the head.

And here came a rather pleasant surprise: I expected to encounter black metal rushing towards destruction, filled with a warlike atmosphere. Instead, I received a blend of black metal with a pinch of death metal, maintained in slower tones with occasional accelerating riffs. The fog-of-war atmosphere throughout the album deserves praise, perfectly blending with the notes of depression and depravity. It's enough to make your neck stand on end.

However, while everything else seems to want to blow your mind, here he strives to keep his vocals in a much slower style.
