Zerstörung are a solo project from Germany that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "Erlösung".
Melodic guitar leads start off the album along with some heavy riffing a few seconds later while chants can also be heard briefly. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats are also utilized which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. One song also adds in a small amount of clean playing along with the tracks also mixing in the raw energy of punk rock at times and the album also adds in a lot of old school touches, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the closing track is an instrumetnal.
Zerstörung plays a style of black metal that is very taw and nihilistic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover occultism, rage, hatred and depression themes.
In my opinion Zerstörung are a very great sounding raw black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Regen" "Verachtung" and "Zerfall". 8 out of 10.
