Portugal's Black Mold has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw mixture of black metal and punk and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Antinomy" which will be released on December 25th by Helldprod Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while the music also incorporates a lot of punk elements as well as the recording also adding in a great amount of old school touches.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while synths are added into the background on a couple of songs. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals going into more of an aggressive punk direction on later tracks and all of the riffing is done on power chord and the closing track is a Ramones cover.
On this recording Black Mold continue to expand on the r aw mixture of black metal and punk that they have introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover nihilism and darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Black Mold and if you are a fan of raw black metal and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grinding Death" and "The Inertial Fog". 8 out of 10.
