Blackend Horizon are a 1 man band from Germany that plays a crust influenced form of raw and primitive post black metal and this is a review of their self released 2011 demo "II(...thoughts)".
Drum programming ranges from slow, mid paced to fast beats, while the bass playing it has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast post black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding with some melody and crustcore influences being thrown into the riffing as well as some shoegaze elements along with a brief use of soft and clean playing and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on this recording, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they use finger picking and full chords to add more variety to the music.
Vocals are all grim sounding black metal screams, while the lyrics cover dark and depressing themes, as for the production it has a very raw and primitive sound while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Blackend Horizon are a very great sounding crust influenced raw and primitive sounding post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out t his recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I" "Disgusting" and "In An Utter Sea". RECOMMENDED BUY.
