Flagg are a duo from Finland that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Cosmic Chaos Manifest" which will be released in December by Purity Through Fire.
A very dark synth orientated intro starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the synths also mixing in with the heavier sections of the music briefly.
The songs also add in a great amount of 90's and early 2000's influences while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the guitar leads and solos also being done in an old school yet melodic style when they are utilized as well as one track also introducing clear vocals onto the recording and some songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
On this recording Flagg goes for more of a raw, melodic and old school Finnish style of black metal. the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death, darkness, misanthropy and anti religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Flagg and if you are a fan of raw, melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cosmic Chaos Manifest" "Serpent's Chamber" "Flame Of Hate" and "To The Coldness Beyond". 8 out of 10.
