U.S.A's solo project Sardonic Witchery has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an old school form of satanic black metal and this is a review of his album "Barbaric Evil power" which will be released in 2024 as a joint effort between Nekrogoat Heresy, Abyssal Productions, War march Records and Aniquilacion Satanica Producciones.
A very dark sounding intro starts of the album along with a brief use of chants and clear vocals which also returns on a later track before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Vocals are done in mostly an angry black metal style which shows a touch of the first wave style while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era as well as mixing in a good amount of 80's influences. When guitar solos and leads a re utilzied they also stay in more of an old school direction and the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, keyboards are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Sardonic Witchery plays a style of black metal that is very satanic as well as mixing both the first and second wave era's of the genre together. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Lusitanian Folklore, Occultism, Paganism War and Destruction themes along with a couple of songs also being written in Portuguese.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sardonic Witchery and if you are a fan of old school satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sacrificial Storm Ritual" "Barbaric bastards of mass Destruction" and "Nocturnal Wanderer (Goddess Of Desire)". 8/5 out of 10.
