Vrak are a solo project from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2020 ep "Rotten Aurora.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep along with some evil sounding melodies before going into a faster direction. When blast beats and tremolo picking are utilized they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
The songs also add in a great amount of 90's influences while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the music also sticks to a very dark, heavy and harsh direction along with the guitar leads being done in a very dark and melodic style when they are utilized.
On this recording Vrak remains true to the raw style of black metal that he had established on his demo. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Magick, Anti Humanism and Anti Life themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vrak and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Rotten Aurora".8 out of 10.
