Edmonton. Alberta, Canada's Sophist has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, death metal and grindcore with some elements of thrash, speed metal, industrial and electronic music and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Avenger...Liberator" which will be released in April.
A very fast and r aw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. The faster sections of the songs also add in the brutality of grindcore while t he riffs also add in a decent amount of melody as well as the vocals being a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls.
Most of the tracks are also very short in length while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Industrial and electronic music sounds are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and some of the riffing also brings in elements of thrash and speed metal, synths can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Sophist mix influences of death, thrash, speed metal, industrial and electronic music into their mixture of black metal and grindcore to create something different from previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover working class politics.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sophist and if you are a fan of black, death metal and grindcore, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rigid Ideology" and "Stochastic Masochism". 8 out of 10.
