Nazghor
is a band from Sweden founded in 2012, and ''Death's withered chants'' is their
fifth full length album. Beautiful melodies submerged in dense and obscurely
melancholic atmosphere of this band are impressive. The album was released via Satanath Records in 2016.
''Hymnum Mortis'' is an intro with organs magically intertwined with female
voice, like a gate to the storm of beautiful and melodic tremolo melodies,
characterizing each song and making them easily memorable. A variety of
motives is noted, ranging from the gloomy chord decompositions, slow black metal riffs that
are alternating and shifting with with the faster ones, and all of it is decorated
with discreet smoothness of keyboards, ranging from organs that I've mentioned, strings, piano,
choirs, and even harpsichord in the background of a doom riff in '' Death's withered chants ''. The song is having the
Summoning-like atmosphere, and clean vocals mixed with chanting in the background
leave a great impression. It ends with the sound of heartbeats,
beating weaker and just stopping, leaving an eerie silence completing the
album. Excellent motive of which really gave me chills. Thrash riff in the
middle of the ''Requiem black mass'' is a great way to avoid the monotony of
repeating the previous parts of the tremolo based arrangements, and the ''
Empire of graves' also has excellent
thrash riff, born isolated in a sudden break ''Under a venomous Spell''
begins with smooth soloing on clean guitars, and ''Complete unholiness '' has
a clean guitar part, from which the solo twirls like a flame. ''Inheritance of
the cross'' has an intro taken from some movie, introducing us to the
Khold-like crushing mid tempo riff. '' Aeternum Regno Diaboli'' is an instrumental
based on melancholic piano melody giving birth to dreadful sounds that sound like awakening an
ancient demonic creature.
