Na Zarot are a solo project from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very raw and lo-fi form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 ep "On Death And Dying" which will be released in November by Ramparts Productions.
Dark yet melodic guitar riffing starts off the ep which also takes the music into more of a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere along with some clear chants also being utilized briefly and blast b eats are added into the faster sections of the songs.
When fast tremolo picking is utilized they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. when synths are utilized they also bring in more of an avant garde style along with the tracks also bringing in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A small amount of melody can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing and the closing track also adds in some female vocals before returning back to a heavier direction which also adds in some bass guitar leads.
On this recording Na Zarot expands on his raw and lo-fi style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and paranormal themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Na Zarot and if you are a fan of raw and lo-fi black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMEMNDED TRACKS INCLUDE "un tombeau de" and "la llorona". 8 out of 10.
