Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Prezir have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw and old school style of black metal with elements of death and thrash metal and this a review of their 2020 album "Depredation" which was released by Dread Records.
A very fast and heavy thrash influenced sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are done in a very chaotic yet old school style and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while dark sounding melodies are also added into the guitar riffing. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some death metal growls also being added into some parts of the music.
At times the solos and leads also bring in a very melodic and traditional approach to metal along with the tremolo picking in the faster sections of the music also giving the songs more of a raw feeling as well as all of the music also sticking to a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Anti Religion, Philosophy and History themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Prezir and if you are a fan of raw, melodic and old school black metal with some elements of death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sacrificed, The Honoured Dead" "Terrors Of the Steppe" and "Peasentry Messiah". 8 out of 10.
