Kostnatění are a solo project from Minneapolis, Minnesota that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for more of a technical style of black metal with elements of African folk music and noise rock and this is a review of his 2023 album "Úpal/" which will be released in May by Willowtip Records.
Melodic, heavy and dissonant riffing starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while clear singing can also b e heard briefly. Some of the riffing also shows an influence of noise rock along with the tremolo picking in the fast riffs also giving the music more of a raw feeling when they are utilized.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the music also having its technical moments as well as the melodic chants also bringing in elements of African folk when they are utilized. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Czech and cover the human condition as a function of heat.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Kostnatění and if you are a fan of dissonant and technical black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Belt" "Opal" and "Sun Bound To The Bleeding Earth". 8 out of 10.
