Cholera are a band from Slovakia that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "peccatum originale".
A tribal orientated intro starts off the album along with a brief use of spoken word parts before going into a heavier direction. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the vocals adding in more of a deeper growling approach which is still rooted in black metal.
When the music speed s up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some high pitched screams also being utilized at times.
The music also adding in a lot of old school touches along with a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, clean playing can also be heard on a few songs. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Slovakian and cover darkness and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion Cholera are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hlad a chlad" and "Onania". 8 out of 10.
