Moor  are  a  solo  project  from  Norway  that  plays  an  old  school  form  of  Norwegian  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2022  album  "Viper  Kingdom"  which  was  released  by  Kult  und  Kaos  Productions.

  A  very  dark  yet  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  album  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams.  Melodies  are  also  added  into some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  decent  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  which  also  gives  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling.

  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  while  the  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  Norwegian  style.  The  songs  also  add  in  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with one  track  also  adding  in  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts  as  well  as  all  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them,  classical  guitars  and  synths  can  also  be  heard  at  times  and  the  album  closes  with  an  instrumental.

  Moor  plays  a  style  of  Norwegian  black  metal  that  is  very  melodic  and  traditional  sounding,  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness,  plagues  and  necromancy  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Moor  are  a  very  great  sounding  melodic  Norwegian  black  metal  solo  project  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t his  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Lepers  Among  Us"  "The  Black  Foe"  and  "The  Vile  Of  Necromancy".  8  out  of  10. - occultblackmetalzine

Short Bio: MOOR is a newly founded black metal one-man band based on the west coast of Norway.

Full-length debut album by MOOR. Recorded over a period of time from august 2021 until December 2021 in The Black Shrine Studios on Norway's west coast. VIPER kingdom serves as the now 1 year old 1mans black metal act MOOR's chaotic beginning. Cold, Aggressive and Melodic are key words to describe the main sound of these songs. And even a bit epic with songs like the title-track it self. However, the songs have a variety of twists and turns and most likely there should be something any black metal/extreme metal fan could enjoy in one or more of these songs.
