Martyr Lucifer better known for his work in progressive black metal band Hortus Animae is a solo artist from Italy that plays a mixture of goth, darkwave, post punk and alternative rock and this is a review of his 2018 album "Gazing At the Flocks" which was released by Seahorse Recordings.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the synths bring in elements of darkwave along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style as well as the riffs adding in influences of goth metal and spoken word parts are also utilized at times.
When clean vocals are utilized they are done in more o a goth rock style while one song also introduces acoustic guitars onto the recording along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them as well as some female vocals also being used briefly, elements of alternative rock can also be heard in a great portion of the songs and as the album progresses an instrumental is also added onto the recording and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and one song also adds in a small amount of black metal screams.
Martyr Lucifer plays a musical style that takes goth, darkwave, post punk, alternative rock and a touch of black metal and mixes them together to create a sound of hos own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, metaphysical and poetic themes.
In my opinion Martyr Lucifer is a very great sounding mixture of goth, darkwave, post rock and alternative rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bloodwaters" "Wolf of The Gods" "Someone Super Like You" and "Spider Queen". 8 out of 10.
