The Somberlain are a band from Spain that plays a very raw and primitive form of satanic black metal and this is a review of their self released 2010 ep "Ancient Satanic Cult".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars, as for the sound effects they are only used at the end of the last song and they bring a very dark and evil sound to the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very old school, heavy, dark, raw and primitive sounding along with some melody being thrown into the riffing at times, while the lead guitars which are only used briefly are raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they are only used briefly on the last track and they use full chords to bring a calmer form of chaos to the recording.
Vocals a re all high pitched hateful black metal screams, while the lyrics cover Satanism and Black Witchcraft, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound to it in the old school black metal tradition.
In my opinion The Somberlain are a very great sounding heavy, old school, raw and primitive satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "True Satanic Black Metal" and "Black Witchery". RECOMMENDED BUY.
