Pavor Nocturnus are a solo project from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of drone, dark ambient, experimental and ritual and this is a review of his 2024 album "Liturgia Electronica" which was released as a joint effort between Dio Drone and Cyclic Law.
Dark ambient style synths and choirs start off the album while the songs also mix in a great amount of atmospheric sounding drones. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with the music also mixing in a good amount of orchestra and classical music elements and when whispers are utilized they also add in some ritualistic touches.
A lot of the vocals are also sampled while each song also brings in a very different style along with some percussion also being added into certain sections of the recording. One song also introduces programmed beats into the music as well as the synths also adding in a variety of many different sounding keys, Gregorian chants can also be heard briefly and the closing track is very long and epic in length.
On this recording Pavor Nocturnus takes drone, dark ambient, experimental, ritual, classical and orchestra music and mixes them together to create a very diverse recording while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Pavor Nocturnus and if you are a fan of drone, dark ambient, experimental and ritual, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kyrie" "Sanctus" and "Naenia". 8 out of 10.
