Master Of Cruelty are a band from Paraguay that plays a mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Archaic Visions Of The Underworld" which will be released in November by Blood Harvest.
Acoustic guitars and evil sounding violins start off the album along with some whispers in the background which also use a very grim atmosphere and after the intro the music goes into more of a dark, heavy and melodic direction where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording.
Vocals a re mostly grim black metal screams and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard and the solos and leads bring in more of a melodic style and you can also h ear some 80's thrash influences in the bands musical style and the songs bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
A great amount of tremolo picking can be heard during the faster sections of the songs which also gives the music more of a raw black metal feeling and the music also brings in a great amount of old school South American death metal influences and while the music is rooted in the past it still brings in more of a modern feeling and the music also gets very bestial at times as will as adding in a touch of war metal.
Master Of Cruelty plays a musical style that takes the raw styles of black and war metal and mixes it with old school South American death and thrash metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Occultism and dark themes.
In my opinion Master Of Cruelty are a very great sounding mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Archaic Visions Of The Underworld" "Our Endless Wrath" and "Mythological Creatures". 8/5 out of 10.
