The album “Iblis” leans straight into raw 90s black metal atmosphere

The album “Iblis” sits firmly in that raw black metal space that feels deliberately untouched by modern polish. The project comes from Iblis, a solo black metal act based in a tiny village of Angola, New York, and the sense of isolation and cold atmosphere runs through the music.

The sound draws heavily from 90s black metal, focusing on raw power rather than clarity or precision. The production stays rough and unfiltered, letting distortion and atmosphere carry the weight. It does not feel concerned with trends or accessibility. It stays committed to the colder, harsher side of the genre.

Nature, mysticism, and hellish imagery are clear sources of inspiration across the album. There is a strong ambient layer beneath the aggression that gives the songs space to breathe while keeping everything grounded in darkness. The balance between rawness and atmosphere is where the album really sits.

As a solo project, Iblis feels focused and singular. The vision does not wander. It stays locked into a specific mood and sound, which works in its favor. There is no sense of compromise here, just a consistent approach from start to finish.

The album is available on Bandcamp with unlimited streaming through the app, along with high-quality downloads in MP3, FLAC, and more. For listeners who care about texture and atmosphere, that matters.

“Iblis” is an album that will likely appeal to fans of raw, atmospheric black metal who are drawn to the colder and more stripped-down side of the genre. It does not try to be anything else, and that is part of its strength.
