Revenant Marquis – Cyflymiad o’r Holl Arferion Ocwlt (2021)

September 7, 2022

I was thinking recently on the mystery of Revenant Marquis and I went over to Spotify to see if any of the records were there and what do you know, turns out the project has a new(ish) release that I haven’t heard yet! Eagerly excited for more muffled kvlt metal that I can’t make head or tail of due to the extra rubbish production, I instead was met with a very invocative series of atmospheric instrumentals.

To call this dungeon synth is probably correct but most (if not all – I recall one moment where there is a small melody or tune) of these are just long, morphing dirges. There’s not a shriek or cardboard box drumkit to be heard. Just gorgeous, dark synthesizer works. I threw this on whilst driving to work and it enraptured me in a little cacoon of gothic darkness, which was nice considering the urban sprawling hell that I was currently in.
