Sangre Negra are a duo form Chile that plays an old school mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "El vuelo del condor negro".
A very shamanistic and tribal orientated sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while the music also mixes in a lot of 80's thrash and South American black metal elements and the vocals are mostly grim screams.
At times the vocals also get very deep and demonic sounding while a small amount of dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the riffing. When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with some of the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
All of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and when guitar solos and leads are finally added into the recording they are also done in a very melodic and old school style along with the album closes with some 'VJ' and "Ritual Oscuro' covers. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover War, Destruction, Ancient Mapuche Culture and Nature themes.
In my opinion Sangre Negra are a very great sounding old school mixture of black and thrash metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "El vuelo del cóndor negro" "Conquistador conquistado" and "Negra locura". 8 out of 10.
