Esenbrey are a band from Germany that plays a very old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Die Schlacht Pt. II"
Dark yet melodic riffing starts off the album while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly grim y et high pitched black metal screams along with some growls also being utilized and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the songs more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a decent amount of old school influences. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also adding in a good amount of palm muted riffing.
When guitar leads are introduced onto the album they are done in a very dark style along with a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of clean playing as well as the music also adding in a decent amount of death metal elements. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover dark themes.
In my opinion Esenbrey are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Verbrannt" "Eingeweide" "Flucht" and "Zerteilt". 8 out of 10.
