Cogadh are a duo form Canada that plays a very traditional form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 ep "Runetongue" which will be released in Octiber.
A very fast and r aw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. The songs also add in a lot of 90's second wave influences while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well melodies also being a very huge part of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while clear pagan chants and vocals can also be heard briefly. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with one song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and they close the ep with a cover of Immortal's "Pure Holocaust".
Cogadh plays a style of black metal that is very raw and old school in the 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Irish Mythology.
In my opinion Cogadh are a very great sounding traditional black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "This Familiar Cold" and "The Three Sons". 8 out of 10.
