Iskra are a band from Vancouver B.C, Canada that plays a mixture of raw and primitive sounding black metal and crustcore and this is a review of their self released 2012 "European Tour Demo".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great 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 are coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine raw and primitive sounding black metal to create a sound of their own along with a good amount of melody being thrown into the riffing, while the lead guitars which are only used briefly are very melodic sounding extreme metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal/crust screams, while the lyrics cover violent, political, social and everyday themes, as for the production it has a very heavy, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Iskra are a very great sounding hybrid of raw and primitive sounding black metal and crustcore and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Der Einzig" "Kronstadt" "Burevel" and "Cursed Remains Of The Winter Demons" which is an Immortal cover. RECOMMENDED BUY.
