Kathaaria are a band from Germany that plays a very modern and aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "To Be Shunned By All...As Creatures Of Pestilence" which will be released on September 23rd by EAL Productions.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with the music also having its technical moments, one song also adds in a brief use of whispered vocals as well as one song also adding in clear singing.
When guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet chaotic style and sat times raw tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing and a couple of songs also adds in some vocal samples. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover negativity, misanthropic and philosophical themes.
In my opinion Kathaaria are a very great sounding modern and aggressive black metal band and if you are looking for something very original sounding, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Last Act Of Rebellion" and "Apathetic". 8 out of 10.
