ALBUM REVIEW: Vulturine - Panegyric of Death - The Synoptic Picture of Negativism (2018)

Vulturine - Panegyric of Death - The Synoptic Picture of Negativism - (2018)

Brazil

Drakkar Productions


Vulturine is one of the best Black Metal bands hailing from Brazil and their signing to Drakkar was definitely a step into the right direction as far as getting more exposure. They've been steeped in obscurity for the better part of their existence. The latest installment from the band unfolds over a duration of 39 minutes of ominous Black Metal and sees the band venture into new territory without compromising any of its core traits. A procession of atonal riffs constantly assaults the senses supplemented with the dense-heavy production, which gives the whole thing a very stifling and oppressive feel. The vocals lean a bit more towards Death Metal, but are well implemented and fitting to the music overall. Every instrument brings something to the table and can be heard in the mix. "Panegyric of Death" is another excellent entry from these Brazilian vectors of plaque. (HT)
