Blutsauger are a duo from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric, old school and raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Nocturnal Blood Tyrants' which will be released in August as a join effort between De Tenebrarum Principio and ATMF.
Ritualistic soundscapes start off the album along with some grim black metal screams a few seconds later which also takes the music into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
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. At times the music also adds in more of an atmospheric touch along with some clean playing also being utilized on a couple of tracks and when guitar solos and leads are used briefly they bring in more of a chaotic style, spoken words are also added on the closing song.
On this recording Blutsauger plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric, fast and raw in the early 90's tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Transylvanian and Austro-Hungarian Folklore.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Blutsauger and if you are a fan of atmospheric, old school and raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blood Solstice" "Wrath Of The Banshee" and "Ausgeblutet". 8 out of 10.
