Unpure are a band from Sweden that has a history that goes back to the early 90's and plays an old school mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Prophecies Ablaze" which will be released on March 31st as a joint effort between Invictus Productions and The Ajna Offensive.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while the riffs also bring in elements of death, speed and thrash metal. When guitar solos and leads are added into the music they are also done in more of an old school style along with a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Unpure goes back to early 90's era of black, death and thrash metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own as well as adding in touches of 80's era speed metal. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness, Death and War themes.
In my opinion Unpure are a very great sounding old school mixture of black, death, thrash and speed metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Megalithic Gateways" "The Witch of Upsala" and "Endtime Dictator". 8 out of 10.
