Vassago are a duo from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a satanic mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Storm Of Satan" which will be released in August by Nuclear War Now! Productions.
Apocalyptic sounding synths start off the album before going into a heavier thrash metal influenced direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a great amount of tremolo picking, war metal elements and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic yet old school style along with some of the riffing also showing an influence of death metal.
The music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era but modern at the same time along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and synths also return on a couple of later tracks as well as the spoken word parts also giving the music more of a ritualistic feeling when they are utilized. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vassago and if you are a fan of satanic war, black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Darkness Of Satan" "Grind Of Satan" "Sign Of Satan" and "War Of Satan". 8 out of 10.
