White Oak are a band from the Netherlands that plays a very raw and primitive form of atmospheric black metal and this is a review of their self released 2012 demo "Contouredn van het Niets".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music 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 atmospheric black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding with some melody being thrown into the riffing at times, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding atmospheric black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal s creams, while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Dutch and English and cover philosophy and nature 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 with the songs all being recorded live and being long and epic in length.
In my opinion White oak are a very great sounding melodic, raw and primitive, atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Waters Of Old" and "Zwijdend Leven". RECOMMENDED BUY.
