Servant are a band from Germany that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Blessed By The Light Of A Thousand Star" which will be released in November by MDD Records.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which also have their deep yet grim moments while keyboards are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the music at times. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also getting very atmospheric sounding at times.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with some songs also adding in some clear vocals. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length , all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Clean playing can also be heard briefly as well as some songs also adding in orchestration and choirs along with some classical guitars also being utilized briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Modern Satanism, Occultism, Religious Teachings, The Longing For Death. The Desire For Transience, Elevation Of The Self and the Search For The Meaning Of Life.
In my opinion Servant are a very great sounding occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Negate The I" "The Ultimate Occult Worship" "Incantation Of The Old Ones" and "Blessed By The light Of a Thousand Stars". 8/5 out of 10.
