Trance Of The Undead are a solo project from Brazil that plays an old school mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of his 2021 album "Chalice Of Disease" which will be released in September by Iron Bonehead Productions.
Ritualistic sounding keyboards start off the album along with some drum beats a few seconds later before going into a very fast and raw war metal direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Bestial growls are also a very huge part of the recording while the music is also heavily rooted in the 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a good portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
The songs also mix in a great amount of black metal elements as well as the keyboards also making a return in certain sections of the recording along with one track also adding in a brief use of melodic chants and as the album progresses a brief use of ritualistic spoken word parts can also be heard, Gregorian chants and melodic guitar leads are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death, darkness, necromancy and horror themes.
In my opinion Trance Of The Undead are a very great sounding old school mixture of war, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grave Sacrament" and "Chalice of Disease". 8 out of 10.
