Sweden's Wan have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw, old school and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Blazewitch" which was released by Fallen Temple.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a r aw feeling. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the ep also being heavily rooted in t he 90's era.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of melody. A touch of the first wave era can also be heard at times mixed in with a small amount of 80's thrash metal elements along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the whole ep also sticks to a heavier direction, when guitar solos and leads are added on the closing track they also stick to more of an old school style..
On this recording Wan remains true to the raw, old school and satanic style of black metal they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Darkness and a couple of tracks are written in Swedish.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wan and if you are a f an of raw, old school and satanic black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blazewitch" and "Fucked by The Goat". 8 out of 10.
