A great closing chapter - 90%
After 5 years German death metal legends Atrocity will finally close their "Okkult" trilogy with the very simple title "Okkult III", which isn't the biggest surprise after "Okkult' and "Okkult II". If you have followed the band throughout the years you already know that there were some musical changes in their 35-years career, starting with very technical death metal on "Hallucinations" and "Todessehnsucht". After that they changed to some more groovy and folky stuff in the mid of the 90s with "Blut" and "Calling The Rain", leading to some 80s pop song worship with "Werk 80" which all were pretty polarizing albums back then. Fortunately the guys found back to old death metal strength in the midst of 00s with "Atlantis" and then with the "Okkult" saga.
The album starts with a very gloomy intro which leads straight into a death metal inferno with a superb production. Powerful blast beats and a fantastic guitar work with some really stunning solos go hand in hand with Alex's deep and hateful vocals. 'Desecration Of God' is a goddamn great start for the album and shows straight from the start what we have to expect. Brutal but still groovy and catchy death metal with some slight modern touches here and there.
On "Okkult III" the brutal aspect of death metal is much more in the focus than it was on its predecessors, on which also were some dystopian tunes (for example 'Menschenschlachthaus'). 'Fire Ignites' is maybe the most brutal song on the album with some really sick riffs (sometimes it sounds like a thrashier version of old Morbid Angel). It is probably one of the best vocal performances Alex did within the last years.
But Atrocity also put two calmer tracks on the album. 'Cypka' starts with some really atmospheric guitar tunes just to explode after a while. 'Malicious Succubus' also starts with some demonic female chants which remind of old Dimmu Borgir or Covenant and which turns out to be a very galloping and catchy song in its running time. In the song some keyboards and female vocals underline the dark atmosphere. And since I mentioned female vocals.
In 'Malicious Succubus' Elina Siirala (Leaves Eyes) and Zoe Marie Federoff (Cradle Of Filth) had some guest appearances. Other guest musicians on the album are Misstiq and Robse Dahn (Equilibrium) who you can hear in 'Teufelsmarsch'. If you care about the lyrics – most deal with some dark chapters of mankind such as about the Polish serial killer Josef Cyppek ('Cypka'), some German conspiracies after the WWI ('Born To Kill'), paranormal stuff ('Faces From Beyond') or some other occult conspiracies ('Bleeding For Blasphemy')
"Okkult III" is a very good end for this furious trilogy, and if you liked what Atrocity did in the last 15 years, you will not be disappointed with this album. A good start into the metallic 2023 and as we say in German – “Ein fettes Brett”!
