OCCULTUM - In Nomine Rex Inferni
Old Temple
Hailing from the pagan vast-lands of Eastern Europe. OK that does sound over dramatic. Fact is OCCULTUM are the latest black metal act to step forward from their native Poland into the vast and crowded genre plain of existence. In Nomine Rex Inferni is their second full length since starting out in 2015. Their debut full length, Towards Eternal Chaos, came out in 2016 and was also on Old Temple records.
Some more history for you, the members of OCCULTUM were all in the band AMAROK from 2003 to 2015. Basically they just changed their band name so we're not talking about young people here blasting old sounds of yore. These are scene vets finally getting out and making a name for themselves, albeit a new name. As for myself I thought maybe I had written about their debut but no I didn't. Then again listening to their music it's kinda obvious why I think I've heard them before.
OCCULTUM put forth seven long cuts lasting a little over forty five minutes. Musically the sound on here is like older DARKTHRONE with some atmospheric parts as well as melody leaking in and out. The most distinctive thing about this is their vocalist Gavron. He has this gruff style that sounds like he's trying to sing with food in his mouth. Well that's new as far as I'm concerned. It's a decent release overall.
