Blazemth are a band from Spain that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "The Return Of Lucifer" which will be released in March by Xtreem Music.
A very dark, atmospheric and melodic sound starts off the album while also adding in some epic sounding synths and spoken word parts which also gives the music more of a ritualistic feeling before going into a heavier direction. During the faster sections of the songs a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic direction and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Classical guitars can also be heard briefly along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as one track also bringing in a brief use of death metal growls, didgeridoo's are also used as an instrument on the recording and also gives the album more of an occult atmosphere and the music also brings in a more modern, diverse and aggressive sound then what was released in the 90's era. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Mysticism, Luciferian, Darkness and War themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Blazemth and if you are a fan of atmospheric, old school and occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Return Of Lucifer" "Hecate" and "The Grummer". 8 out of 10.
