Primordial Serpent - Adversary of God - Reviewed By occultblackmetalzine ! Check it out here at this link: https://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/2023/01/primordial-serpentadversary-of-god2023.html

 Primordial  Serpent  are  a  solo  project  from  Winnipeg,  Manitoba,  Canada  that  plays  a  very  raw  and  old  school  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  self  released  2023  album  "Adversary  Of  God".

  A  very  dark  sounding  intro  starts  off  the  album  while  also  adding  in  a  brief  use  of  synths  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast   beats.  Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal s creams  and  the  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  acoustic  guitars  can  also  be  heard  briefly.  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  some  tracks  also  adding  in  a  small  amount  of  growls  as  well  as  the  solos  and  leads  also  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  when  they  are  utilized,  a  couple  of  the  songs  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  On  this  recording  Primordial  Serpent  remains  true  to  the  raw  and  old  school  style  of  black  metal  that  he  has  established  on  previous  releases.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism  and  Anti  Christianity  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Primordial  Serpent  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  and  old  school  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Conduit  Of  Darkness"  and  "Dreams  Of  Shattered  Crosses".  8  out  of  10. - occultblackmetalzine
