Greece's Astarte has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an aggressive and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "The Cross" which was released by Sleaszy Rider Records.
A very fast and aggressive sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times and the fast tremolo picking also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the first track also adds in some session work from Morfeus of Limbonic Art. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them a long with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clear vocals can also be heard briefly and the closing track is also a cover of Celtic Frost's "The Sorrows Of The Moon" which also adds in some clean playing.
On this recording Astarte adds in one song which mixes black and death metal together and a Celtic Frost cover which also makes the 2 tracks very diverse. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Fantasy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Astarte and if you are a f an of this band, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Cross". 8 out of 10.
