Battlestorm are a band from Singapore that plays a very aggressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Summon Decimation".
Epic sounding synths start off the album before going into a heavier direction while elements of thrash metal can be heard in some of the guitar riffing. 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.
Vocals are mostly black metal screams while death metal growls can also be heard at times along with the riffs also adding in a good amount of melody. A lot of the music also shows some influences from t he 80's and 90's era mixed in with a more modern day brutality and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic yet melodic style along with one of the tracks also introducing spoken word parts onto the album as well as one song also adding in a brief use of throat singing. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Anti Religion, Darkness, Death and Hindu Demonology themes.
In my opinion Battlestorm are a very great sounding aggressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Slaughter The Gods" "The World's End" and "Rakhshasa Dominion". 8 out of 10.
