Magyla are a band from Lithuania that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Kur Tavo Dievas Dabar?".
Spoken word samples start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is heavily rooted in the 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the riffs also bring in a small amount of melody along with the solos and leads also remaining true to an old school style when they are utilized, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
Magyla plays a style of black metal that is very raw and old school in the 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Lithuanian and cover darkness and anti religion themes.
In my opinion Magyla are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I Pelenus" "Cheminis Disbalansas" and "Atsipisk Ir Murk". 8 out of 10.
