Blodskam are a duo from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for more of a raw and brutal style of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Ave Eva" which will be released in September by Suicide Records.
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 brutal blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
A small amount of melody can also b e heard in the guitar riffing at times while 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 song also adding in a brief use of clean playing and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, clear vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly towards the end.
On this recording Blodskam beings in more of raw, traditional and brutal style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the destructive force of Eve and her bloody mission to destroy Earth , slaughter its creatures and undo God's creation to restore infinite chaos.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Blodskam and if you are a fan of raw and brutal black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUIDE "Perverse Creation" and "Chaos Reigns". 8 out of 10.
