Germany's solo project MX have returned with a new recording which continues the raw style of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Hass schürt Krieg"{ which was released by Wolfmond Production.
A very dark synth orientated intro and war samples start off the ep before going into a heavier musical direction. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while war samples also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody and as the ep progresses a brief use of melodic guitar leads can also be heard.
On this recording MX remains true to the raw style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover war themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from MX and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE " Kriegsbeginn" and "Im Schützengraben". 8 out of 10.
