Ramchat are a band from Slovakia that plays a pagan form of black metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Znelo Lesom" which will be released in November by Slovak Metal Army.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while death metal growls can also be heard in some parts of the recording. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with some tracks also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody, a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of keyboards and female vocals.
Ramchat plays a style of pagan black metal that is very raw and melodic sounding as well as adding in some elements of death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Slovakian and cover Slavic Gods, Mythology, Paganism, Heritage and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Ramchat are a very great sounding pagan black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "V case popadaje" "Matka ZEM" "Jastrab" and "Bogyna". 8 out of 10.
