Barshasketh are a band from New Zealand that plays a very atmospheric, raw and primitive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2012 album "Sitra Achra" which was released by Todestrieb.
Drums range from slow to mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that are following the riffs that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast atmospheric black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding with some melody being utilized at times as well as a brief use of thrash influences being utilized on the last song, while the lead guitars are very weird and melodic sounding black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars which are only used briefly use full chords and finger picking to enhance the dark atmosphere that is coming out of the music.
Vocals mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams along with a brief use of deep growls, while the lyrics cover darkness and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Barshasketh are a very great sounding atmospheric, raw and primitive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sitra Achra" "Bitter Sagacity" and "Leaden Horizon". RECOMMENDED BUY.
