This is a review of another recording from Ecuador's Wampyric Rites which shows the music going for more of a raw and vampyric style of black metal and the demo was originally released in 2020 and will be re-issued in March, 2023 by Inferna Profundus Records.
Clean playing starts off the demo before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments sound very powerful. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some deeper vocals being used at times as well as a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
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. The songs also mix in a decent amount of 90's influences along with the tracks also adding 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 melodic style and the riffs also add in a small amount of melody, one song also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts and the demo closes with an instrumental.
On this recording Wampyric Rites went for more of a raw and vampyric style of black metal. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover Vampirism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wampyric Rites and if you are a fan of raw and vampyric black metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Frio invierno del sur " and "El dolor de los sueños y la melancolía". 8 out of 10.
