Dhishti are a band from Sri Lanka that plays a very atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Life Is Suffering" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath, Australis Records. Slava and Tragedy Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some clear Asian style chants a few seconds later while the percussion also adds in some ritualistic touches before going into a heavier direction. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as the music also having its atmospheric moments.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the occult rituals used in curing mental illnesses in the ancient days o Sri Lanka.
In my opinion Dhishti are a very great sounding atmospheric and depressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Maranashruti" and "Marudepawilla". 8 out of 10.
