Chicago, Illinois's Kommandant have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a fast and aggressive style of black metal and this is a review of their album "Titan Hammer" which will be released in 2023 by ATMF.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and they also mix the 90's style rawness in with a more modern sound.
At times the riffing also gets very dissonant sounding while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style when they are utilized. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments on the album also having a very powerful sound to them as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of death metal growls, angry shouts can also be heard at times and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier musical direction, spoken word parts are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Kommandant takes the fast and aggressive black metal style of classic bands like War, Marduk and Zyklon B and mixes it in with a more modern and dissonant style to create something very different from previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover war and hatred themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kommandant and if you are a fan of fast and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Titan Hammer" "Sublimation Of Resistance" and "Mechanized Annihilator". 8 out of 10.
