Despised Cruelty are a band from Poland that plays a very modern and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Niech zdycha" which will be released in December by Talheim Records.
Field recordings start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Spoken word parts van also be heard briefly along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction, clean vocals are also added on the closing track.
Despised Cruelty plays a style of black metal that is very modern, melodic and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover hopelessness and despair themes.
In my opinion Despised Cruelty are a very great sounding modern melodic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Zgliszcza' and "Petla". 8 out of 10.
