Chile's solo project Sangre Negra has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an old school mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "Bastard Universal Blasphemy"
A very heavy sound starts off the compilation while the riffs also add in a good amount of primitive sounding melodies. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
Elements of thrash metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 80's to early 90's era. Some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some sticking to more of a slower or mid tempo direction along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, when tremolo picking is utilized they also give the album more of a raw feeling and the whole compilation sticks to a heavier style.
On this compilation Sangre Negra goes for a style of black metal that is very heavily rooted in the 80's and early 90's South American style as well as adding in some touches of thrash metal which also gives the songs more of a first wave vibe. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover war, destruction, nature and Ancient Mapuche Culture.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Sangre Negra and if you are a fan of old school black and thrash metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Katrala" "Falling into The Black Abyss" "Eternal Agony" and "Dark Heights Of Black Fight". 8 out of 10.
