Kharàce are a solo project from Italy that plays a very raw form of black metal with some elements of ambient and post rock and this is a review of his 2021 album "Dakhalè" which was released as a joint effort between Xenoglossy Productions and Cossyra Tapes.
A very dark, heavy and lo-fi sound starts off the album while you can also h ear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams that are mixed down low in the mix along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling when they are added on some of the tracks. Influences of the 90's era can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
The mid tempo sections also adds in touches of post rock and the lo-fi atmosphere of dark ambient as well as the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody at times, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very chaotic style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the hidden and lesser known landmarks of Pantelleria, a small island in Southern Italy.
In my opinion Kharàce are a very great sounding raw black metal solo project with elements of ambient and post rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dakhalè [Entance]" and " Kharàce [Exit]". 8 out of 10.
