Philippines/Canada's solo project Kratornas has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a progressive form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 ep "Ravaged By Hurakaan" which will be released in May by Grathila Records.
A very heavy, melodic and progressive sound starts off the ep while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the solos and leads also adding in a decent amount of melody and spoken words can also be heard briefly.
A lot of the tracks are also re-mixes while the newer material sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can also be heard which also gives the ep more of a raw feeling, a couple of tracks also add in elements of grindcore and a few songs are also long and epic in length.
On this recording Kratornas brings in some new tracks that shows the music going into more of a progressive style of black metal as well as re-mixing some of his more older fast and raw black metal tracks to create a very diverse release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark and blasphemous themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kratornas and if you are a fan of progressive black metal or the more raw and brutal side of the genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ravaged By Hurakaan" and "Human Livestock". 8 out of 10.
