Switzerland's Rorcal have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of dissonant black, sludge, doom metal, drone, industrial and noise and this is a review of their 2023 album "Silence" which will be released in September by Hummus Records.
Industrial style soundscapes and harsh noises 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. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and dissonant structures.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Drones can also be heard in certain parts of the album along with the songs also bringing in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts,
Growls can also be heard at times along with some songs also adding in a small amount of samples. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as one song also adding in a very brief use of clean yet aggressive sounding industrial metal vocals. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover tragedy and horror stories.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Rorcal and if you are a fan of dissonant black, sludge, doom metal, drone, industrial and noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Childhood Is A Knife In The Throat" "Constant Void" and "No Alleviation, Even in Death". 8 out of 10.
