Portugal's Decayed has returned with a new recording which continues the raw and old school style of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their unreleased 2008 album "From Hell" which will finally be released on July 10th, 2023 by Haloran Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast b eats.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while synths can also b e heard in the background at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they stick to more of a classic extreme metal style along with the songs also mixing in a lot of first wave elements as well as one track also being a Sodom cover and ritualistic chants are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Decayed remained true to the raw and old school style of black metal that they have established on earlier releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Metal, Darkness, Occultism, Norse mythology, Anti Christianity and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Decayed and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black metal Onslaught" "HellWitch" and "Infernal Waves". 8 out of 10.
