Germany's Ancst has returned with a new recording which shows them evolving into more of a solo project and going for a mixture of black metal, crust and hardcore and this is a review of his 2025 ep "Dominion" which was released by Yehonala Tapes.
Spoken word samples start off the ep before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. 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.
Elements of hardcore and crust are added into the mid tempo sections of the recording while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Growls can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a more melodic style when they are utilized, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
On this recording Ancst goes for more of a mixture of melodic black metal, crust and hardcore which is closer to the style found on earlier releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover personal themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ancst and if you are a fan of melodic black metal, crust and hardcore, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dominion" "As Good As It Gets" and "Always Right". 8 out of 10.
