SKOTOC are a solo project from Greece that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 demo "Demon".
An ambient orientated sounding intro starts off the demo along with a brief use of ritualistic spoken word parts which also evolve into high pitched black metal screams. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the music is also very heavily rooted in the e arly 90's greek style.
Dark sounding melodies can also be heard at times while all of the drum beats are also programmed. Tremolo picking can also be heard in the faster sections of the songs and also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with some slow and mid tempo sections also being utilized at times, when guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style.
SKOTOC plays a style of black metal that is very old school sounding and heavily rooted in the early 90's Hellenic style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover demons and war themes.
In my opinion SKOTOC are a very great sounding old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ages of madness N War". 8 out of 10.
