Greece's Katavasia have returned with a new recording which continues the old school style of occult black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Invoking The Spirit Of Doom" which will be released in October by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very heavy and aggressive sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostyl angry sounding black metal screams while the music also adds in a decent amount 90's era Hellenic influences.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to an old school style along wit the music also having its atmospheric moments, synths can also be heard at times.
On this recording Katavasia remains true to the old school style of occult black metal that has been established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Sacrilege, Satanism and Magick themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Katavasia and if you are a fan of old school occult black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Descending To Acheron". 8 out of 10.
