Runemagick - Beyond The Cenotaph Of Mankind (2023)

The 13th album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

The so far latest album from this band and the final Runemagick album review. 

Starting out as a classic death metal band in the same vein as Grave and Bolt Thrower, the band started to slow down their aural onslaughts and changed to a more doom metal band. One of their album contained some gothic metal too.

Four years has gone from their previous album... and the band has upped the tempo a bit.

There are still some doom metal influences here and the speed is not as fast as the more modern death metal music you get these days. The band is not as technical either as the likes of Cannibal Corpse and the more modern death metal bands.

The result is a mix of classic death metal and slower doom metal on this fifty minutes long album.

The vocals is brutal and ditto for the music which is at times very brutal and esoteric.

This is one of their better albums and one to check out of death metal is your thing. It is a decent album from a rather obscure death metal band. A band who deserve a bit more respect.
