Šakal are a band from Serbia that plays a pagan form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Jav, Prav, Nav".
A very distorted sound starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling,. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the tracks also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, elements of thrash metal can also be heard at times.
Throughout the recording you can also h ear a decent amount of old school influences along with one song also introducing clear pagan vocals onto the recording. Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly and one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length, one song is also an instrumental. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Serbian and cover Slavic Mythology and Heathen Heritage themes.
In my opinion Šakal are a very great sounding pagan black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Himna Mrtvih Bogova (1168)" and "Stvaranje svetova". 8 out of 10.
