Characith are a band from Poland that plays a very melodic, old school and occult form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 demo "Fairest She".
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the demo before going into a faster direction which also utilizes a lot of blast beats and tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly angry black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era of the genre while acoustic guitars and clean playing is also added on a couple of tracks. Throughout the demo you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a lot of the music sounding like it could of been recorded and released more then 25 years ago spoken words can also be heard briefly.
Characith plays a style of black metal that is very melodic and aggressive in the classic European tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Left Hand Path, Qlipthoth and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Characith are a very great sounding melodic, old school and occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Fairest She". 8 out of 10.
