Austria's Aussichtslos has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a harsh and grim form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Schicksalstotschlag" which will be released on June 21st by Purity Through Fire.
A very heavy yet melodic sound starts off the album while you can also h ear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while atmospheric sounding synths can also be hard on a few tracks. The album also mixes in influences from both the old school and modern era of the genre along with one one track also introducing clear vocals onto the album, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the closing track is also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Aussichtslos expands on their harsh and grim style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover inner struggles so universal to the human experience..
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Aussichtslos and if you are a fan of harsh and grim black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Am hohen Ross" "Brachland" "iinfektion" and "Hochverrat". 8 out of 10.
