Burr Hole are a band from The Netherlands that plays a mixture of raw black metal and crust punk and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Trepanation" which was released by Elf Eggs.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also adds in a lot of elements of d beat and crust punk as well as most of the tracks also being very short in length.
All of the riffing is done on power chords while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also adds in some old school touches along with one song also being a Bone Awl cover, all of the tracks avoid the use of any solos, leads or melodies and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
Blurr Hole plays a musical style that takes a very raw form of black metal and mixes it with crust punk to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover anarchy themes.
In my opinion Burr Hole are a very great sounding mixture of raw black metal and crust punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Pointing Finger" "Deficient" "No Time" and "The Way Is Up". 8 out of 10.
