Ural Megalith are a band from Russia that plays a very dark and aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Всполох (Vspoloh) - Помре".
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the vocals being mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the synths also giving the music more of an atmospheric style when they are utilized as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced into the music, one of the tracks is also an instrumental and demonic sounding spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and death themes.
In my opinion Ural Megalith are a very great sounding dark and aggressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Into The Netherworld" "Lots Of lamentation And Mourning, And Wail" and "Czernotop". 8 out of 10.
