Salacious Gods are a band from the Netherlands that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 compilation album "A Chrestmathy Of Blasphemous Supremacy" which was released by WolfKult Religion.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the compilation along with a great amount of blast b eats and tremolo picking. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era.
Throughout the compilation you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while a lot of the tracks where also recorded live. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some of the more recent material also bringing in more of a modern style.
When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in more of a melodic style along with a couple of the tracks also adding in a small amount of synths. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as some of the songs also being very long and epic in length. some of the older material also adds in a small amount of symphonic touches. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Dutch and English and cover Occultism, Philosophy, Anti Religion and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Salacious Gods and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sulphur, Mingled With Poison" "Morbid Revelations In Blood And Semen" "Firestorm" and "Hexencult". 8/5 out of 10.
