Antrisch are a band from Germany that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 ep "EXPEDITION 1 : Dissonanzgrat" which will be released in April.
Ambient style soundscapes start off the ep before adding some clean playing onto the recording before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with the music also having its atmospheric moments.
Some of the mid tempo sections also show an influence of djent along with the guitar leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing and as the ep progresses a small amount of post metal and shoegaze touches can also be heard. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in German and cover the heights of the world and the depths of man.
In my opinion Antrisch are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Aufbruchsignale" and "Firnfeldkonfrontation". 8 out of 10.
