Orv are a duo from Hungary that plays an orthodox form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 ep "A Crowning Of Misery".
Ambient soundscapes start off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of t he guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark yet melodic style. Clean playing can also be heard briefly along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the songs also add in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences as well as one song also adding in a brief use of synths and clean playing and spoken word parts can also be heard on the closing song.
Orv plays a style of black metal that is very raw, melodic and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the self consumingly tyrannical human nature and its trajectory from rising to self -sufficiency to the inevitable decline
In my opinion Orv are a very great sounding orthodox black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Submission" and "Dawning". 8 out of 10.
