Gadir are a band from Italy that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2020 demo "Declivities" which was released as a joint effort between Xenoglossy Productions and Cossyra Tapes.
A very dark, heavy yet lo-fi sound starts off the demo along with some angry black metal screams a few seconds later that are over powered by the guitars. When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling while one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while the music is also heavily influenced by the 90's era. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well a s the music also adding in some cut-and-paste style loops which also gives the music more of a repetitive and primitive atmosphere.
Gadir plays a style of black metal that is very raw, traditional and lo-fi sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark, metaphysical and esoteric themes.
In my opinion Gadir are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Horizon Sphinx" and "Oneiric Square". 8 out of 10.
