Betelgeuse are a band from Chile that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Bajo el amparo de putrefacta cruz" which will be released on August 31st by Adirondack Black Mass.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the music also adds in a great amount of old school influences. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, synths can also be heard on some of the tracks and a couple of songs also adds in a brief use of classical guitars and clean playing.
Betelgeuse plays a style of black metal that is very raw, atmospheric and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover Nature, Mysticism, Ancient Chilean History and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Beetelgeuse are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Genocido" "Inquisicion" and "Non Occides". 8 out of 10.
