Skjult - Lucifer Hominum Salvator - Full Length (2020)
Cuba
Satanath Records
Cuba
is not a country I know much about in regards to its metal history,
although I have managed to hear a few killer bands from there, such
as Narbeleth (now situated in Spain), From The Graves, Infector,
Sectarium, Combat Noise, and now, Skjult from Havana. (Most of the
good ones hail from the country's capital, Havana) “Lucifer Hominum
Salvator” is the band's third album and was released by Satanath
Records from Russia. Skjult plays a rather pristine and
straight-forward style of black metal that puts a lot of emphasis on
atmosphere. It's by no means original, but it's a formula that works.
The fact that it's a one-man project is quite impressive; the music
is very well-crafted and is able to draw the listener in easily.
Conspirator, the sole individual behind all the music, shows a knack
for excellent craftsmanship. The songs are quite lengthy, yet
cohesive, as each instrument is expertly arranged and implemented
into the mix. It seems like the band is quite productive too, as
“Lucifer Hominum Salvator” is Skjult's third album in just four
years. The guitars are definitely the main focal point here, as each
song is replete with somber, immaculate riffs, and an atmosphere that
emanates pure antikosmic darkness. “Lucifer Hominum Salvator” is a
very enjoyable album to listen to and full of great songs. I can't
see how any true fan of black metal cannot enjoy this. Fans of bands
like Dissection, Watain, and Urgehal will be pleased. Highly
recommended. (HT)
