Oldowan Gash are a band from Los Angeles, California that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "1000 Dreams Of War" which will be released in April as a joint effort between Amor Fati Productions and Feral Heart.
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 most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music brings a more modern approach to the genre. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style, one track also adds in a brief use of distorted drones and spoken words can also be heard on a couple of songs.
Okdowan Gas plays a style of black metal that is very raw, aggressive and modern sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover War, urban decay and fantasy themes.
In my opinion Oldowan Gash are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "1000 Dreams Of War" and "Fighting Forver". 8 out of 10.
