Monstraat are a duo from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Death Upon His Bell" which was released by Fallen Temple.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and a small amount of melody is also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the songs also mix in a decent amount of old school influences along with a touch of thrash metal which is also added on a couple of tracks and the whole album sticks to a very raw and heavy musical direction, one song is also a Necroiplasma cover.
On this recording Monstraat goes for more of a r aw, old school and satanic black metal style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism and Darkness themes and the closing track is written in Swedish.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Monstraat and if you are a fan of raw, old school and satanic black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDE TRACKS INCLUDE "Past The Veil" "Anemic Horizon" and "When it Came Thunder". 8 out of 10.
