Lord/Behind The Curtain Of Darkness/Eldethorn Records/1998 CD Review


  Lord  are  a  band  from  France  that  played  a  very  atmospheric  form  of  satanic  black  metal  on  this release  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  1998  album  "Behind  The  Curtain  Of  Darkness"  which  was  released  by  Eldethorn  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  keyboards  bring  a  very  epic  and  atmospheric  sound  to  the  music,  as  for  the  bass playing  it  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  basic  and  simple  sounding  with  some  dark  sounding  melodies  being thrown  into  the  riffing  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams  with  some  clean  singing  and  spoken  word  parts  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  song  lyrics  cover  Satanism,  Sorcery  and  Darkness,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  along  with  a  mixture  of  short  and  long  songs.

  In  my  opinion  Lord  created  some  great  sounding  atmospheric  satanic  black  metal  with  this  recording  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style  of  music,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Into  Hell's  Well"  "When  Funeral  Pyres  Ablaze  The  Black  Moon  Sky"  "Under  The  Spell  Of  The  Diabolical  Sorcerer"  and  "Gates  To  The  Blazing  Kingdom".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
