Characith are a band from Poland that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic, old school, occult and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 ep "Curse Of The Black Mist'.
Keyboards start off the demo before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the riffs also add in a lot of melody and the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's Swedish style.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the recording also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some acoustic guitars also being utilized at times and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
On this recording Characith remains true to the melodic, old school, occult and satanic style of black metal that they introduced on their previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Gnosticism, Left Hand Path and Occult themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Characith and if you are a fan of melodic, old school, occult and satanic black metal, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Pearly Tears Of :Light". 8 out of 10.
