nether are a band from Belgium that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "The Blood Of Rats" which will be released in July by Void Wanderer Productions.
Raw tremolo picking starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the early 90's era while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and tone song also adds in a brief use of clean playing.
On this recording nether plays a style of black metal that is very melodic, fast and aggressive in the early 90's tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover the pervasive forces in our society that resemble rats.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from nether and if you are a fan of old school and melodic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "For Your Own Glory" "The Blood Of Rats" and "The obelisk". 8 out of 10.
