Avskräde are a duo from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Undergång" which will be released in December by Purity Through Fire.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era as well as the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody at times.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet old school style and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Avskräde plays a style of black metal that is very old school in the mid 90's Scandinavian tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Avskräde and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "När bönerna tystnat" " Naturens borg" " Ty du skall ner i jorden skrämmas" and "Fri". 8 out of 10.
