Blood Countess are a band from the United Kingdom that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Imperatrix Sanguinis" which will be released in April by Dominance Of Darkness.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a lot of melody and the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era of the genre.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to an old school style as well as having their melodic moments, synths can also be heard briefly and one of the tracks is also long and epic in length.
Blood Countess plays a style of black metal that is very fast and aggressive in the mid 90's tradition. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Elizabeth Bathory's reign of blood soaked tyranny.
In my opinion Blood Countess 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 "Chains Of Misdeed" "The Scavenger's Daughter" and "Anna Nadasdy". 8 out of 10.
