Lurid are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a very raw and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self titled 2021 demo which was released by Vendetta Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the demo while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly deep death metal growls.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some elements of doom metal also being added into the slower sections of the songs, When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style.
Lurid plays a musical style that takes a very raw and melodic form of black metal and mixes it with elements of doom and death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and plague themes.
In my opinion Lurid are a very great sounding raw and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Wasting Plague". 8 out of 10.
