Skorbvstr are a solo project from Kentucky that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very raw and lo-fi form of black metal and this is a review of his 2021 ep "Hedensk" which was released by Snow Wolf Records.
A very distorted sound starts off the demo before going into more of a heavier and lo-fi musical direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. All of the drum beats are programmed along with the tracks also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the guitar leads being done in a very distorted style when they are utilized, some of the distorted parts also add in touches of noise.
On this recording Skorbvstr remains true to to raw and lo-fi style of black metal that he had established on his previous demo. The production sounds very dark and raw while the song titles are written in Norwegian and the lyrics focus on dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Skorbvster and if you are a fan of raw and lo-fi black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Besokende" and "Konge Skummelt". 8 out of 10.
