Germany's Der Rote Milan have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Schlund" which will be released in November by Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the vocals also add in a small amount of growls at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing and synths, most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era and clear chants are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Der Rote Milan brings out a very raw, modern and melodic style of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover darkness and melancholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Der Rote Milan and if you are a fan of raw and melodic black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Erloschen" and "Der Herr der Schaben". 8 out of 10.
