Greece's Katachthon have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school mixture of war, black. death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 single "Destroyer/Overlord".
A very powerful bass guitar sound starts off the single before adding in some heavier riffing while the vocals are mostly angry sounding shouts that also adds in more of a first wave vibe. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and war metal elements.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in t he 80'a and early 90's era while also showing an influence of thrash metal. Growls can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also remaining true to an old school style.
On this recording Katachthon takes the first and second wave era's of black metal and mixes it in with influences of war, death and thrash metal to create something very different from their previous releases. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover War, Hellenic Mythology and History themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Katachthon and if you are a fan of war, black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this single. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Overlord". 8 out of 10.
