Unholy Prophet are a band from Brazil that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Summoning The Black Spirits"
Keyboards and spoken word samples which also return on later songs start off the ep 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 grim sounding black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school style while one of the interludes also add in a brief use of acoustic guitars before returning back to a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of slow riffs which also changes the pace of the recording, clean playing can also be heard briefly and one song is also an instrumental.
Unholy prophet plays a style of black metal that is very diverse, raw and old school sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Black Magick, Left Hand Path, Luciferian, Darkness and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion Unholy Prophet are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Castle Of Blood" Phantasmagoric Sorrow" and "Luciferian March of Total Armageddon". 8 out of 10.
