Black Fullmoon-Black Fullmoon

The demo opens with an evocative dungeon synth track, setting a mediaeval haunting tone which draws listeners into the shadowy world that Black Fullmoon seeks to create. Transitioning from the synth-driven intro, the demo moves into a mid-paced trotting black’n roll track. This song maintains a steady rhythm and combines the aggression of black metal with the heavy metal groove. The result is an infectious, headbanging-worthy anthem characterised by catchy yet abrasive riffs. The demo culminates with its longest track, which further adheres to the lo-fi path while continuing in a mid-paced style. This closing piece is more extensive, drawing out the themes introduced earlier and delving deeper into the band’s sonic exploration. The extended runtime allows for a more immersive experience, with repetitive riffs and hypnotic rhythms creating a trance-like state. The lo-fi production, while somewhat limiting in clarity, adds a layer of decrepit authenticity that enhances the overall atmosphere. The deranged vocals contribute to this eerie effect, delivering a sense of madness. Overall, Black Fullmoon’s demo captures the essence of both black metal and its derivatives blending them in a way that feels natural and unforced. Wolfkult Religion 2024.
