Vehemence Abyss – Shadows Of Sin Review

Before we get to the article, we are pleased to present additional reviews of Melkor. Following our initial set of six reviews, we have returned with another six. We already commenced with the first review titled The Rise Of Ophiuchus – As Galaxies Merge Review. Now get ready for this “chilling symphony” called Vehemence Abyss, a raw and extremely fast, this black metal symphony is a chilling tribute to the darkest corners of human nature.

The moment the listener hits the play button, they are immediately enveloped by the powerful sounds of The Vanishing Mystery, a track that combines fierce instrumentals with vocal intensity, gripping the audience from the very start. As the musical journey unfolds with the second track, Hidden Monster, and the subsequent five pieces, it transports the listener on an unparalleled adventure. This music and its lyrics are not meant for the timid; they promise a thrilling ride that is anything but easy.

The lyrics focus around Catherine Theodore’s lyrics, drawn from the blood-soaked pages of true stories, add a haunting narrative, each word a step deeper into the cold, unforgiving night. Together, they create an artwork that is as visually striking as it is sonically brutal, a true homage to the darkest corners of human history.

Within the depths of Studio13, where the air is thick with the scent of creativity and darkness, where a fruit of art devilmanship-malevolence emerges, enveloping the listener in a rich auditory experience. Within the musical spectrum, and devilmanship, Melkor skilfully crafts a soundscape that resonates with raw, eerie melodies, plucked from the depths of his guitar and bass, each note echoing like a ghostly whisper from the void. His voice unleashes spine-chilling wails that slice through the fabric of the music, while his meticulous production and mastering serve as a form of sorcery, transmuting chaos into a hauntingly beautiful symphony.

The thunderous beats of Jeroen’s drums reverberate through the emptiness, showcasing his remarkable speed and unwavering commitment, propelling this black metal forbidden fruit of art forward with relentless energy. Catherine Theodore’s lyrics, inspired by the grim realities of true events, weave a chilling narrative that draws the listener further into the icy embrace of the night. Together, they forge a creation that is as visually captivating as it is sonically ferocious, paying tribute to the darkest recesses of human experience and history.

Vehemence Abyss‘s album Shadows of Sin: Chronicles of Portuguese Serial Crimes presents a fierce auditory experience, encapsulated in just under thirty-five minutes across seven blistering tracks. This black metal opus serves as a haunting homage to the most sinister aspects of human existence. Each riff cuts through the air like a sharpened blade, while every drumbeat resonates like the pulse of dread, drawing inspiration from the infamous figures who once roamed these very streets. Shadows of Sin: Chronicles of Portuguese Serial Crimes emerges as an unyielding force, with music that howls like a tempest at night, echoing the secrets of the damned. 

This is more than mere music; it is a plunge into the abyss, a harrowing exploration of the grim narratives surrounding Portugal’s most notorious serial killers. So embrace the shadows, for within them lies the primordial spirit of black metal.

As album and the final track, Infanticide fades in abyss emptiness. We want to give a shoutout to Melkor for letting us review his album, Shadows Of Sin:  Chronicles of Portuguese Serial Crimes. Now, we are going to conclude the review by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
