Svartsyn are a band from Sweden that plays a very fast, raw and primitive form of satanic black metal and this is a review of their 1998 album "The True Legend" which was released by Folter Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them as for the synths when they are utilized briefly they have a very dark, atmospheric and evil sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that utilize some dark sounding melodies at times as well as some thrash influences in the riffing and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams with some deep demonic growls being utilized at times as well as a brief use of clean singing female chanting, while the lyrics cover Satanism, Darkness and Anti Christian themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Svartsyn are a very great sounding raw and primitive satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The True Legend" "The Snake In The Garden Of Eden" and "Under The Devil's Moon". RECOMMENDED BUY.
