Germany's Toadeater have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric mixture of post black metal, crust and hardcore punk and this is a review of their 2022 album "Bexadde" which will be released in September by F.D.A Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while clear vocals can also b e heard at times. 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 post metal style and the riffs also add in a good amount of melody.
At times the screams also show an influence of hardcore along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as the music also having its atmospheric moments and some of the riffing also adds in the raw energy of crust punk. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover social criticism, alienation and existential despair themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Toadeater and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Asche' and "Molten Gold". 8 out of 10.
