Description:
In Memoriam is a raw and reverential release from Mayhemic Truth, rooted firmly in the old-school black metal tradition. The album feels like a grim tribute — not only to the dead, but to a purer, more uncompromising era of the genre itself.
Cold tremolo riffs and relentless drumming drive the record with direct intent, while harsh, unpolished vocals reinforce its underground character. The production remains raw and unrefined, emphasizing atmosphere and conviction over clarity or modern sheen. Each track carries a sense of mourning and defiance intertwined — remembrance expressed through aggression rather than sentimentality.
Rather than innovation, In Memoriam thrives on preservation. It channels black metal as memorial and declaration, honoring what has been lost while refusing to soften its edges. The result is austere, hostile, and sincere — black metal spoken in its native tongue.
