Avgrav are a solo project from Indonesia that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 demo compilation "Eternal Lamentor" which was released as a joint effort between Blackmass and Depressive Illusions Records and consists of 2024 and 2025 demo's.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the compilation along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere as well ass adding in a great amount of influences from the old school era of the genre.
Throughout the compilation you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while most of the riffing is done on power chords which makes the music even more heavier along with some synths and clean playing also being utilized on the second demo and a couple of tracks stick to an instrumental direction, melodies are also added into some of the riffing briefly.
Avgrav plays a style of black emtal that is very raw, lo-fi, aggressive and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover nihilism, war and occultism themes.
In my opinion Avgrav are a very great sounding raw black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Exegis II" and "The Execution Ov Redemption". 8 out of 10.
