Natzahu are a solo project from Mexico that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "Under The Light".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave tradition as well as the guitar solos and leads also remaining true to more of an old school style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A small amount of melody can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing at times along with a lot of the music also sounding like it could of easily been recorded and released more then 30 years ago.
One song is an instrumental and also adds in a brief use of clean playing as well as a later track also adding in some nature sounds and acoustic instruments before returning back to a heavier direction, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover nature, winter, darkness and witchcraft themes.
In my opinion Natzahu are a very great sounding old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Forgotten Witch" "Black Lake" and "Midnight". 8 out of 10.
