Cult of Lilith – Arkanum [2016; self-released]

On Cult of Lilith’s first (and so far only) release, the Icelandic group provides five tracks of hard-edged death metal, with blackened vocals and fast-moving drums.  Some nice use of keyboards on the bridges sticks out as the most creative part of the music (along with a nice shifty riff on “Tomb of Sa’ir”), but otherwise it’s pretty stock stuff.  A nice demonstration of technical skill, but outside of that and a sample from Legend, nothing too interesting.
