Kurhan are a band from Poland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an aggressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Wieza".
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw black metal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also add in some melodies at times.
Vocals are mostly mid 80's style death metal growls while the music also adds in a great amount of thrash metal elements. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as the music also showing influences of both the old school and modern eras of extreme metal, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and as the album progresses a brief use of synths can also be heard.
On this recording Kurhan remain true to the aggressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal that they had established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover darkness and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kurhan and if you are a fan of black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "O wlos" "Szpik" and "Ostatine dni". 8 out of 10.
