Ocultan is a veteran band in the Brazilian scenery, being formed in 1994 has eight albums, one dvd and two demos. It is not necessary to say Ocultan is an experienced band in all the senses, but it is necessary to mention "Atombe Unkuluntu" is the amount of all the experiences of this veteran band. In "Atombe Unkuluntu" the band elevates the Black Metal at level personal really, therefore the songs are consolidated in a sonorous structure that presents intelligence, velocity sense and weight in the right measure and a cold melody that increases morbid feelings to the compositions background the. When we mentioned "melody" and "metal" in the same phrase it is sign that we are before new influences, but in "Atombe Unkuluntu" the melody is just an inoffensive background. The melody in "Atombe Unkuluntu" is something very subtle, therefore Black Metal prevails in all their black cold essence. This observation is caused by the timbre of the instruments, mainly by the six strings that emit cold sonorities, but always sounding heavy or fast. "Atombe Unkuluntu" is just Black Metal, but it is a Black Metal developed to sound black and cold, showing through the songs sonorities with a lot of variations. The graphic art is simple, however the exact translations of the lyrics overcome the graphic simplicity, however the quality of the recording is perfect. "Atombe Unkuluntu" is Black Metal, but like I wrote above: it is a Black Metal elevated at a personal level, but with own identity and a lot of Metal. (Fernando)
