Spain's Barbarian Swords has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 203 album "Anti-Dogma Megaforce" which will be released in October by Eternal Juggernaut Records.
A very harsh sound starts off the album before going into a very fast direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very chaotic, dark and melodic style and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the slower sections of the songs also being in elements of sludge and doom metal. Keyboards can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them, spoken word parts and growls can also be heard briefly and the closing track is very long and epic in length.
On this recording barbarian Swords brings in more of an aggressive style of black metal as well as expanding on the keyboards and keeping some of the sludge and doom metal elements of previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nihilism and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Barbarian Swords and if you are a f an of aggressive black metal with elements of sludge and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Massive Prehistoric Killing Machine" "Immortal Ritualistic Abomination" "A Mountain Of Corpses" and "A Thousand Impaled Heads". 8 out of 10.
