Germany's Servant have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very aggressive and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Death Devil Magick" which will be released in September by AOP Records.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some synths a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also mixing in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre, one of the tracks is also an instrumental and spoken word parts are also added in the closing song.
On this recording Servant expand on their aggressive and melodic style of occult black metal taking the music into a different direction as well as keeping all the aggression of previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, magick, poetry, philosophy, emotions. beliefs, addiction and depths of human nature.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Servant and if you are a f an of melodic and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Void" "Devil" "Death" and "Magick". 8 out of 10.
