This is a review of another recording from Germany's Örastimar which shows the music going for a raw form of black metal and the ep was released in 2023 on cassette by WitchCult Records and called "Gäst".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with a couple of the tracks also adds in a small amount of clean playing.
Dark soundscapes and noises can also be heard briefly while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also adding in a brief use of synths and the closing track also adds in a brief use of melodic guitar leads.
On this recording Örastimar continues the expand on the raw style of black metal that they introduced on their previous release. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics are written in German and cover misanthropy, hated and anti society themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Örastimar and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "II" and "III". 8 out of 10.
