Switzerland's Ernte have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very raw and aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Der schwarzen Flamme Vermächtnis" which will be released in February by Purity Through Fire.
Sword fights 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 riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Most of the recording is very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre mixed in with an old school aggression as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of c lean playing, spoken words and stringed instruments can also be heard briefly and synths are also added towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Misanthropy, Darkness and Luciferian themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ernte and if you are a fan of raw and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Warrior Of The Black Flame" "Lucifer" and "Ritual Pyre". 8 out of 10.
