Nightgaunt are an international duo with members from Spain and United States that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Visitant" which will b e released in November by Inferna Profundus Records.
Tragic sounding pianos 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 b eats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams along with the songs also adding in a good amount of old school influences.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while dark sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. At times the music also gets very lo-fi sounding along with the guitar leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized, pianos also make a return in certain sections of the recording and the music also has its melancholic moments.
Nightgaunt plays a style of black metal that is very raw, lo-fi and melancholic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover melancholy, depression and misery themes.
In my opinion Nightgaunt are a very great sounding raw black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'A Death, Released Of Oppressive Life" and "The mark Bore by The Shadow Hunger". 8 out of 10.
