Ctanic are an international duo with members from Singapore and the United States and plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their album "Portals Of Black Earth" which will be released by Dead Root Productions in 2024.
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 melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing as well as the music also adding in a lot of old school 90's era influences.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. One song also adds in a brief use of melodic chants along the guitar leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced into the music and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction.
Ctanic plays a style of black metal that is very fast, raw, aggressive and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Hatred themes.
In my opinion Ctanic are a very great sounding fast and raw black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Baphometic Fire" "Promethean Light" "Sol Invictus" and "Abyssic Darkness". 8 out of 10.
