This is a review of another recording from Poland's solo project Sarg which is also in the raw and misanthropic style of black metal and the album was released in 2017 by Black Death Production and called "Totentanz".
Epic sounding synths start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction along with some spoken word parts and samples being introduced onto the recording which also return on later tracks. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling while the tracks also adds in a great amount of 90's influences. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the drum beats also being programmed.
When guitar leads are utilized briefly they are done in a very dark yet melodic style along with one of the tracks also being an instrumental and also adds in a brief use of noises as well as the closing track also being very long and epic in length. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover anti religion, anti human and anti life themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sarg and if you are a fan of raw and misanthropic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I' "V' and "IX". 8out of 10.
