Othalan are a band from Florida that started out playing a pagan style of black metal and on this recording goes for a mixture of black, speed, heavy metal and punk and this is a review of their 2026 album "For Victory? For Speed!" which will be released in July by So Below Productions.
A very heavy punk influenced sound starts off the album while the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in touches of black'nroll. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and blast beats are also added into the faster parts of the music.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the riffing also adds in elements of speed and heavy metal. A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's era as well as being very modern at the same time along with some of the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
Othalan plays a musical style that takes black, speed, heavy metal and punk and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, darkness and rock'n'roll themes.
In my opinion Othalan are a very great sounding mixture of black, speed, heavy metal and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Court Of Snakes" "Drunk Off The Blood of Conquest" "World Devourer" and "Wildfire". 8 OUT OF 10.
