Blazemth are a band from Spain that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording goes for a primordial and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Gehenna" which will be released in December by Negra Nit Distro.
An orchestra orientated intro starts off the album while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also ads in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era as well as being very modern at the same time.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some clean playing and whispers also being utilized on a couple of songs. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some of the riffing also bringing in elements of thrash metal, one song also adds in a brief use of clear pagan vocals Death metal growls and synths can also be heard briefly and spoken words are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Norse Mythology, Occultism, Death and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Blazemth and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "To The Valley' "Into The Crypt Of Iggdrasyl" and Nifelheim". 8 out of 10.
