Darkness are a band from Italy that plays a very raw and primitive form of old school black metal and this is a review of their 2012 album "Anti Human Life" which was released by Satanic Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them, as for the violins they are only used briefly on one song to enhance the darkness that is coming out of the music.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast old school black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding with a small amount of thrash influences, while the lead guitars which are only utilized briefly are very primitive sounding black metal leads.
Vocals are all grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams with a brief use of depressive cries as well as a brief use of samples and deep growls, while the lyrics cover darkness, anti human, anti religion and hateful themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Darkness are a very great sounding old school raw and primitive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anti Human Life" "Darkness" "Reflections Of a Mysanthrope" and "Monotheistic Destruction". RECOMMENDED BUY.
