Miasma are a band from Greece that has had an album reviewed before in this zine and plays a Hellenic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Abomination" which was released by Shub Niggurath Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. The riffs also add in some melodies at times along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them while demonic growls can also be heard in some parts of the recording. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also adding in a brief use of synths, clean playing, whispered vocals and spoken word parts, a couple of songs are also long and epic in length and as the album progresses an instrumental is added onto the recording.
On this recording Miasma remains true to the Hellenic style of black metal that was established on their previous release. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover darkness, blasphemy and satanism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Miasma and if you are a fan of Hellenic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Neither Beast Nor Man" "The Black Tormentor Of Satan" and "The Longest Night(Mas)". 8 out of 10.
