Ramchat are a band from Slovakia that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of pagan black and death metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Krvel" which was released by HladoHlas.
Keyboards and clean playing start off the album before adding in some rough pagan metal style vocals a few seconds later which also evolve into black metal screams. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast b eats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while death metal growls can also be heard at times. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in a good amount of melody as well as one track also adding in a brief use of female vocals
When spoken word parts are utilized briefly they also give the music more of a ritualistic feeling along with the music also having its atmospheric moments as well as a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of folk instruments and shaman style drums. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Slovakian and cover Slavic Paganism, Gods, Mythology, heritage and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ramchat and if you are a fan of pagan black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mreli" "MestoBes" "Prišli ukradnúť slnce" and "Krveľa". 8 out of 10.
