Oldlands are a solo project from Brazil that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Oldmaster" which was released by Diabo Records.
Dark sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times before going into a heavier direction while acoustic guitars can also be heard on a few tracks. 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.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with a few growls while a couple of tracks are also long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and m fast parts as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, most of the album is also very heavily rooted in the old school era and the solos and leads also remain true to a 90's style.
Oldlands plays a style of black metal that is very old school in the 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while t he lyrics cover darkness, anti religion and black metal themes.
In my opinion Oldlands are a very great sounding old school black metal solo project and if you a re a fan of t his musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lost Life" "Ancient Black Metal" and "Wastedland". 8 out of 10.
