Empty Chalice are a musical project from Italy that plays a mixture of death industrial and dark ambient and this is a review of his 2019 album "Mother Destruction" which was released by Toten Schwan.
Ambient style drones start off the album along with some ritualistic sounding percussion a few seconds later. All of the tracks are very long and epic in length while the music also utilizes a great amount of atmospheric synths which also use a variety of many different sounding keys.
Field recordings can also be heard in some parts of the music while all of the tracks sound very different from each other. Spoken word parts are also brought into a couple of the songs along with the music also adding in some harsh noises and the harshness of death industrial at times as well as some of the songs being instrumentals.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly and as the album progresses a brief use of grim black metal screams are brought into the music as well as a small amount of Gregorian chants which also enhance the occult atmosphere of the recording and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Empty Chalice are a very great sounding mixture of death industrial and dark ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this musical project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Treblinka's Snow" and "Mother Destruction". 8 out of 10.
