Thanatomass are a trio from Russia that plays an occult mixture of war and black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Black Vitriol & Iron Fire" which will be released in May as a joint effort between Living Temple Records and LVX MorgenStern.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very chaotic style while the bestial growls also add in touches of war metal and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while a lot of the music is also heavily rooted in the 90's era. Elements of thrash metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording as well as the music also showing some 80's influences at times and as the album progresses a synth orientated instrumental can also be heard before returning back to a heavier direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Alchemy, Necromancy and Luciferian themes.
In my opinion Thanatomass are a very great sounding occult mixture of war and black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Deathmass Extasis" and "Phallvs Lvciferi". 8 out of 10.
