New York's solo project Theologian have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of blackened industrial and power electronics and this is a review of his 2025 album "All The Tyranny In the World Won't Put A God In The Heavens" which was released by Chthonic Screams.
Spoken words start off the album along with some dark sounding synths a few seconds later while a lot of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Grim black metal screams can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a great amount of power electronics which also mix in a lot of harsh noises.
A lot of the music also sounds improvised while the songs also add in a great amount of industrial elements. A lot of the beats are also programmed along with all of the tracks also sounding very different from each other as well as some clear singing and operatic choirs also being utilized briefly, the album also adds in session work from members of Dream into Dust, Fragile Body, Dead Editor, Grot, Many Blessings, Murderous Vision. Gnawed, The Vomit Arsonists and Snowbeasts.
On this recording Theologian takes black metal, industrial, power electronics and harsh noise and mixes them together to create a very divers release. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover the global hegemony of religion, war, white supremacy, and humanity's accelerating race to the bottom.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Theologian and if you are a fan of blackened industrial and power electronics, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Plague Fatigue" "Chernobyl Black Frog" "Mass Causality Event" and "Insouciance". 8 out of 10.
