Ydolothytum/Conjuring The Primaevil Creatures/Crush The Desert Records/2024 Full Length Review

Ydolothytum  are  an  international  band  with  embers  from  Italy  and  Poland  that  has  had  music  reviewed  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  plays  an  old  school  mixture  of  black  and  folk  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2024  album  "Conjuring  The  Primaevil  Creatures"  which  was  released  by  Crush  The  Desert  Records.

Folk  instruments  start  off  the  album  and  also  brings  in  more  an  ancient  pagan   atmosphere  as  well  as  mixing  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  songs  at  times.  Spoken  word  parts  can  also  be  heard  briefly  along  with  a  lot  of  the  vocals  also  being  done  in  a  clear  style  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  the  more  aggressive  vocals  also  bring  in  elements  of  black  metal.  When  keyboards  are  utilzied  they  also  give  the  songs  more  of  an  atmospheric  touch  along  with  the  music  also  being  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  era  and  all  of  the  songs  stick  to  either  a  slow  or  mid  tempo  direction,  when  guitar  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style.

On  this  recording  Ydolothytum  remains  true  to  the  old  school  black/folk  metal  style  they  had  established  on  their  demo.  The  production  sounds  very  old  school  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  Polish  and  are  based  upon  Maciej  Bogusz  Stęczyński's  work  "Tatra  Mountains  in  twenty-four pictures" from  1860  with  their  own  version  of  the  primeval  creatures  mentioned  there..

In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Ydolothytum  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  old  school  black/folk  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dziwożona  -  Mara  i  straszydło"  and  "Żmijoloki  -  Dusz  przekleństwo".  8  out  of  10.

Ydolothytum/In The Circle Of Spectral Forces/Crush The Desert records/2023 Demo Review

Ydolothytum  are  an  international  band  with  embers  from  Poland  and  Italy  that  plays  an  old  school  mixture  of  black  and  folk  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2023  demo  "In  the  Circle  Of  Spectral  Forces"  which  was  released  by  Crush  The  Desert  Records.

A  very  dark  yet  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  demo  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  melody.  Clear  pagan  vocals  are  also  a  very  huge  part  of  the  recording  along  with  the  music  being  more  closer  to  the  90's  underground  era  of  folk  metal  instead  of  the  more  modern  style  and  black  metal  screams  are  also utilized  at  times.

When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  while  keyboards  can  also b e  heard  in  certain  sections  of  the  recording.  A  lot  of t he  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  classic  Nordic  style  and  all  of  the  tracks  stick  to  either  a  slow  or  mid  tempo  musical  direction.

Ydolothytum  plays  a  style  of  black/folk  metal  that  is  more  closer  to  the  classic  style  of  Isengard  and  Storm  and  avoid  the  modern  ways  of  the  genre,  The  production  sounds  very  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  the  legends  of  the  Eastern  Carpathian,  Werewolves,  Vampires  and  Strigoi.

In  my  opinion  Ydolothytum  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school  black/folk  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t his  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  demo.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Night  of  Cursed  Souls".  8  out  of  10.
