Odraza are a duo from Poland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for more of a modern and aggressive style of black metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Rzaczom" which was released by GodZ Of War Productions.
Keyboards start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Clean playing can also be heard in some sections of the recording and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the music also has its brutal moments. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments on the recording having a very powerful sound to them.
At times deeper yet aggressive vocals are also utilized as well as adding in a small amount of clean singing on a few songs along with a small amount of melody also being added into some of the guitar riffing and the music is also very heavily rooted in a more modern style.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly as well as the music also brings in some avant garde and dissonant structures and as the album progresses some of the tracks also start getting more experimental sounding along with some of the tracks also very long and epic in length, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and the album also closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while t he lyrics are written in Polish and cover alcohol, depression and vanity themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Odraza and if you are a fan of modern and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Schadenfreude" "...twoja rzecz tez" "Mlot na male miasta" and "Ja nie stad". 8 out of 10.
