Scheusal are a solo project from Germany that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Urwahn" which will be released in March by Purity Through Fire.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. 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 the vocals are a mixture of first wave grunts and second wave black metal screams.
Spoken words can also be heard at times while some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very old school style when they are utilized and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction.
Schuesal plays a style of black metal that is very raw and heavily rooted in the 90's to 2000's tradition as well as adding in a touch of the first wave era to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover darkness, folklore and supernatural themes.
In my opinion Scheusal are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Der Giftler" "Der ewige Pilzkult" "Der nachtmahr" and "Der Spiegel im Abgrund". 8 out of 10.
