Despair Eternal are a solo project from Germany that plays a feminist and anti fascist form of black metal and this is a review of her self titled 2023 ep which will be released in June by Syrup Moose Records.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the ep along with some nature sounds before adding in some heavy riffing that also utilizes a great amount of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
All of t he musical instruments on t he recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with a couple of the songs also being instrumentals and the music also has its atmospheric moments as well as one track also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and whispers and clear singing can also b e heard towards the end.
Despair Eternal plays a style of black metal that is very raw, aggressive and antifascist sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover anti fascism and feminism themes.
In my opinion Despair Eternal are a very great sounding anti fascist feminist black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Despair Eternal" and "Bella Ciao". 8 out of 10.
