Kolac are a band from Serbia that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their self titled 2024 album which will be released in February by Pest Records.
A synth orientated intro starts off the album along with some spoken word samples a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Elements of thrash metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while the vocals are mostly black metal screams and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing which also gives the album more of a raw feeling, the songs also take an 80's style and makes it sound more modern and all of t he musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
On this recording Kolac takes black and thrash metal and mixes them together to create something that sounds very different from previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the usage of stakes as punishments in the Middle Ages and beyond.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kolac and if you are a fan of black and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kolac" "Krvokolj" "Silence Of The Ages" and "Raskrsten". 8 out of 10.
