This is a review of another earlier recording from Norway's Beastcraft which showed the music going for an old school and satanic form of black metal and the album was originally released in 2005 and called "Into The Burning Pit Of Hell" and was re-issued in 2024 by Necroeucharist Productions as a part of a tape box set.
A very ritualistic sounding intro s tarts off the album which also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts while also introducing high pitched black metal screams which also takes the music into a heavier direction. During the faster sections of the recording a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the classic Nordic style while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic yet old school style and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Beastcraft played a very raw, aggressive, satanic and traditional form of black metal. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Demonology, Witchcraft, Anti Christianity and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Beastcraft and if you are a fan of old school and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Enter The Chasm" "Satanic Supremacy" Summoning The Great Beast" and "Pentagram Sacrifice". 8 out of 10.
