Viserion are a band from New York that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Natural Selection" which will be released in August.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music is also h eavily rooted in t he 90's era but with some modern touches. Some of the riffing also shows an influence of death metal along with a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing as well as some growls also being utilized on a few songs.
Viserion plays a style of black metal that is very old school, and traditional sounding as well as adding in touches of death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Viserion are a very great sounding old school black/death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Desolation" "Natural Selection" and "Malevolent". 8 out of 10.
