Blodpest where a solo project from Sweden that played a very raw and misanthropic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2018 ep "Ashen Sovereignity" which was released by Death Prayer Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the ep along with some synths a few seconds later 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 mixes in a lot of mid 90's and early 2000's era influences.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Clean playing can also be heard briefly along with the riffs also adding in a small amount of melodies at times and synths return on the closing track.
Blodpest played a style of black metal that was very raw and misanthropic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while t he lyrics cover misanthropy, nihilism and depression themes.
In my opinion Blodpest where a very great sounding raw and misanthropic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ashen Sovereignty" and "Nihilistic Embodiment". 8 out of 10.
