Glyph are a solo project from the United States that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw, old school and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 demo "Unbinding Sacred Writings".
Clean playing starts off the demo while the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere before going into a heavier direction. During the faster sections of the songs a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. A small amount of dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the riffing along with the music also adding in some 90's influences.
On this recording Glyph expands on his raw and depressive style of black metal by adding in some 90's era second wave influences to take his sound to another level. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Glyph and if you are a fan of raw, depressive and old school black metal, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Codex" and "Admonition". 8 out of 10.
