Grimcult are a solo project from Poland that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2020 ep "Revelations Of Sinister Flame" which was released by Putrid Cult.
A keyboard orientated intro starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are done in a very dark yet melodic style. Synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody at times and as the ep progresses a brief use of whispers and spoken word parts can also be heard.
Grimcult plays a style of black metal that is very raw and old school in the 90's European tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion Grimcult are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Revelation Of Sinister Flame" and "Death Dream". 8 out of 10.
