Magog - Artglauben

Review by Beatriz Marques

Magog's latest album, Artglauben, is a masterpiece of dark, atmospheric black metal. The band's signature sound is on full display throughout the album, with its haunting melodies and crushing riffs creating a sense of foreboding and unease.

The album's opening track, "In Einer Nacht," sets the tone perfectly, with its ominous intro giving way to a relentless assault of blast beats and tremolo-picked guitars. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a landscape of darkness and despair, with tracks like "Der Blinde König" and "Schwarze Sonne" showcasing the band's ability to create epic, cinematic soundscapes.

The album's production is top-notch, with every instrument and element of the band's sound given the space it needs to shine. The vocals in particular are a highlight, with a range of styles and techniques used to great effect throughout the album.

Summary by Beatriz Marques

Artglauben is a must-listen for fans of black metal, and a testament to Magog's skill and creativity as a band. Highly recommended.
