Germany's Baxaxaxa have returned with a new recording which continues the raw, old school and occult style of satanic black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 album "Catacomb Cult" which will be released in August by The Sinister Flame.
Ritualistic sounds start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies. Medieval style synths are also added into some parts of the recording along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the music is also heavily rooted in the 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tremolo picking also giving the music more of a raw feeling when they are utilized
Some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as the album progresses a small amount of chants can also be heard along with a later track also adding a brief use of clean playing onto the recording. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Baxaxaxa and if you are a fan of raw, old school, occult and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As The Moon Inhaled All Sunrays" "Walpurgis Dancers" and "Temple Of The Seven Keys". 8 out of 10.
