Italy's duo Todesstrafe have returned with a new recording which continues the national socialist style of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2022 compilation album "Battlefield Destroyer (2017-2021) which was released by We Are At War Records and consists of songs that where recorded over a 4 year time span.
WWII era military music samples start off the compilation before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music also adds in a great amount of old school influences.
Throughout the compilation you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the songs also add in a good amount of war samples. Influences of RAC can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as having their raw and chaotic moments.
All of the riffing is done on power chords, as the compilation progresses a brief use of clean vocals are also utilized along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the compilation closing with an acoustic track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover war, Europe and national socialism themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Todesstrafe and if you are a fan of national socialist black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Flame Still Burning" "A Distant Thunder" "A Deadly Ritual" and "Survival Instinct". 8 out of 10.
