This is a review of another recording from Anti-Freeze which continues the atmospheric and raw post black metal sound of the previous recordings with elements of ambient and this album was self released in 2015 and call "Unloved Sounds" which consists of rare songs that have not been on any of the other albums and compilations.
A very dark and raw atmospheric black metal sound starts off the compilation along with some grim yet high pitched screams a few seconds alter and the riffs also have a very depressive feeling at times and there are also a few tracks that are very long and epic in length and the music also brings in more of a raw style of black metal at times along with a decent amount of blast beats.
Throughout the compilation you can hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and some of the songs also bring in a small amount of clean playing, acoustic guitars which also bring elements of folk into the songs and melodic post black metal guitar leads and some of the riffs mix in elements of punk with a more lo-fi style of black metal.
Synths can be heard in certain sections of the recording and also mix in with both the clean and heavy parts along with a couple of instrumentals and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them while some songs also bring in elements of ambient and noise music and you can hear a doom metal influence in some of the slower riffs and one of the alter tracks also adds in a touch of neo-folk.
Anti-Freeze display more of a raw style of black metal with these unreleased tracks than what was presented on the full length along with a more depressive atmosphere while the music is also a bit more experimental at the same time, the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depression, hate and revolution.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Anti-Freeze and if you are a fan of experimental, raw, depressive, atmospheric and post black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Stench Of Death" "Throat Infection" "Eviscerated by Hounds" and "I Woke Up From My Dream In Shame". 8 out of 10.
