Switzerland's Rorcal have returned with a new recording which shows them teaming up with solo project Earthflesh and bring in a mixture of raw black, doom, sludge metal, drone and harsh noise and this is a review of their 2021 collaboration album "Witch Coven" which will be released in April by Hummus Records.
Melodic chants start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the slower sections of the songs also add in the heaviness of sludge metal. Harsh noises are also mixed in with the heavy riffs along with both of their tracks also being very long and epic in length and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while angry shouts are also added into some parts of the songs. At times the riffing also get very repetitive sounding repeating the same riffs for a few minutes along with some drones also being added into certain sections of the recording, dark sounding melodies can also be heard at times and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the second track more of a raw feeling.
On this recording Rorcal takes their mixture of raw black, sludge, doom metal and rone and mixes it with Earthflesh's style of harsh noise to create something very different. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collaboration between Rorcal and Earthflesh and if you are a fan of raw black, sludge, doom metal, drone and harsh noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Happiness Sucks, So Do You". 8 out of 10.
