Lurid are a band from Chicago, Illinois that has been featured on this recording plays an aggressive mixture of black and d eath metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Fire Spell" which was released by Vendetta Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while the vocals also add in a small amount of death metal growls at times. When the music speeds a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and high pitched black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording.
The songs also mix both the old school and modern eras together while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark, raw and melodic style when they are utilized as well as a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
On this recording Lurid takes their mixture of black and death metal into more of a raw and aggressive direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover witchcraft and darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Lurid and if you are a fan of raw black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Burned At The Stake" and "A Wasting Plague". 8 out of 10.
