Néfastes are a band from France that plays a misanthropic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Scumanity" which will be released in June by Source Atone Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and brutal sounding blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and a small amount of melody is also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also adds in both old school and modern influences. One of the tracks also adds in a brief use of apocalyptic soundscapes before returning back to a heavier direction along with a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing, a later song is also an instrumental and a brief use of guitar leads is also added on the closing song.
Néfastes plays a style of black metal that is very fast, raw, brutal and misanthropic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover an aversion to humanity and misanthropic themes.
In my opinion Néfastes are a very great sounding brutal and misanthropic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fuck With the Bull, You Get The Horn" "Scumanity" and "Carved Into The Flesh". 8 out of 10.
