Sweden's Godhead Machinery have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Masquerade Among Gods" which will be released in July by Black Lion Records.
Acoustic guitars and nature sounds start off the ep along with some whispered vocals a few seconds later. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the heavier riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording.
Death metal growls are also utilized at times while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The tracks also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing.
On this recording Godhead machinery go for more of a modern mixture of black and death metal which is a little bit different than previous releases but still very aggressive. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the dark and corrupt side of religion and how it enslaves mankind.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Godhead Machinery and if you are a fan of black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Upon His Deceitful Star" and "Masquerade Among Gods". 8 out of 10.
