Atavistic Passage are a music project from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of raw black metal and dungeon synth and this is a review of their 2024 demo "Demonstration One" which will be released on cassette by Manifest Of Hate Creations.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the demo along with some synths a few seconds later which also bring in elements of ambient and dungeon synth before going into a heavier and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. One of the tracks also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the synths also mixing in with the heavier sections of the song before closing with a dungeon synth orientated outro.
Atavistic passage plays a musical style that takes raw black metal and mixes it with ambient and dungeon synth to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover ritualistic themes.
In my opinion Atavistic Passage are a very great sounding mixture of raw black metal and dungeon synth and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this project. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ritual II". 8 out of 10.
