Knelt Rote are a band from Portland, Oregon that plays a mixture of war, black, death metal and grindcore with some touches of harsh noise and hardcore punk and this is a review of their 2018 album "Alterity" which was released by Nuclear War Now! Productions and the vinyl version will be released in May.
Power electronics and harsh noises start off the album along with some grindcore style screams before going into a very fast and brutal blackened death metal direction which also uses a great amount of blast beats along with the vocals being bestial growls and the music also mixes in the rawness of war metal.
Elements of grindcore and hardcore punk can also be heard at times while black metal screams are also added into some parts of the songs along with the riffs also using a great amount of tremolo picking and some of the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses a small amount of dark sounding melodies can be heard in some of the guitar riffing.
Knelt Rote plays a musical style that takes war, black, death metal and grindcore and mixes it with some elements of harsh noise to create something very original, the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover social dissolution, identity, mental illness, obsession and suicide themes.
In my opinion Knelt Rote are a very great sounding raw and bestial mixture of war, black, death metal and grindcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lachesis" "Genetic Memory" and "Black Triptych". 8/2 out of 10.
