Galdra are a band from Vancouver B.C, Canada that plays a very melodic, raw and primitive form of occult black metal and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2012 ep.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very heavy, raw and primitive sounding with a great amount of melody being thrown into the riffing as well as some thrash influences, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding black metal guitar solos and leads that utilize a great amount of skill and talent.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with a brief use of deep demonic growls, while the lyrics cover dark, esoteric, satanic, and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Galdra are a very great sounding melodic, heavy, raw and primitive sounding occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Horns Of Death" and "Robes Of Necromanti". RECOMMENDED BUY.
