Mißträu are a band from Germany that plays a mixture of black metal and post punk and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Gegendemonstration" which will be re-issued in March, 2026 as a joint effort between Bleeding Heart Nihilist and Cultkill Music.
Soundscapes and post punk style keyboards start off the ep along with some angry yet depressive sounding black metal screams a few seconds later which also takes the music into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and blast b eats are added into the faster sections of the songs.
Throughout the ep you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the tremolo picking in the fast riffing also give the songs more of a raw feeling. Spoken words and clear singing are also used at times along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, one song also adds in a small amount of clean playing and noises as well as some of the keyboards and programming also bringing in elements of ambient and industrial.
Mißträu plays a style of black metal that takes the raw and side of the genre and mixes it with post punk, experimental, ambient and noise to create something very different. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover abrasive themes.
In my opinion Mißträu are a very great sounding mixture of black metal and post punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wer Zu Leben Weisz" and "Seuchen & Wunden". 8 out of 10.
