Hellpriests are a band from California that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Sermon" which will be released in May.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the ep while you can also hear all of t he musical instruments that are present on this recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the old school era and when the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style while most of the music sticks to a more mid tempo direction . When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the ep more of a raw feeling and acoustic guitars are also added on the closing track
Hellpriests plays a style of black metal that is very raw, old school and mostly mid paced sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover history, art and the horrors of life.
In my opinion Hellpriests are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal b and and if you are a f an of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hell's Gate" and "Bleed". 8 out of 10.
