Unbenign are a band from the Netherlands that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2022 album which was released as a joint effort between Satanath Records and Asgaard Hass Producitons.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a great amount of 90's influences. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as one track also introducing classical guitars onto the album, growls can also be heard at times and one song is also a keyboard orientated instrumental.
Unbenign plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, old school and traditional sounding. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover blasphemy, devilry, Satanism, darkness and grimness themes.
In my opinion Unbenign are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACSK INCLUDE "The Great Cosmic Rebel" "Via Negativa" and "The Untenanted Epoch". 8 out of 10.
