KILATUS The Return And Darkness It Shall Be (Evil Dead Production
EDP089, 2021)
The album, and even the
song-titles might give you the assumption of being slightly unimaginative and
more than obvious adherence to the band’s influences and admiration, but
please; just leave your prejudgment there and dive into it before making any conclusion.
Sure, KILATUS offers nothing but the tested and tried European black Metal
epiphanies, yet they know how to do it quite well I have to say. You know
what’s being served on the plate, and you know how to consume it, thus there
will be nothing you could complaint about. The songwriting is solid, always
reminds you of a certain song or certain band here and there, but still, you
will hear them until the very end. The third song (unsurprisingly bearing the
album title) demonstrate this with confidence and without even an ounce of
guilt. I highly regard the instrumentalization throughout the album, they are
obviously well prepared. KILATUS is blazing through the soundscapes that shaped
what the band is, tracks like “Kilatus Barzakh” for example seems like being
taken out straight from “Panzer Division Marduk”, while “Thy Light After
Several Thunder” clearly reminds you that KILATUS originates from this part of
the world’s extreme Metal scene. I could go song by song and going on dropping
names, but I leave it to your listening pleasure right there. As being stressed
earlier, nothing at fault if you know what you listen, for these are no sloppy,
half-arsed homages.
