This is the final review of a recording from Brazil's Diabellein which also shows the music going for a very raw and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Anti Sacra" which will be released sometime in February by Sangue Frio Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album which also introduces synths onto the recording before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling as well as showing an old school influence at times
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few growls while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, spoken words can also be heard briefly and some songs also add in some angry shouts and clean playing is also added towards the end.
On this recording Diabellein remains true to the raw and melodic style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cove criticism of institutionalized religion, rebellion against social norms, deconstruction of myths and the exploration of individualized spirituality.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Diabellein and if you are a fan of raw and melodic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Incipit Tragoedia" and "Wisdom And Solitude". 8 out of 10.
