Gomma are a solo project from Tunisia that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very avant garde and experimental mixture of black metal and Arabic folk music and this is a review of his 2026 single "Experiment 4.4" which was released by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Synths start off the single along with some middle eastern style folk instruments a few seconds later and the track is also over 9 minutes in length. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams style along with the riffs also adding in some melodies, at times the music also gets very avant garde and experimental sounding.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some chants also being used briefly and clean playing is also added towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Folklore and Existentialism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Gomma and if you are a fan of avant garde and experimental black metal with elements of Arabic folk music, you should check out this single. 8 out of 10.
