Belgium's Alasthor have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric mixture of occult black and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Flesh Apart, Mid Inside" which will be released on October 23rd by Chapitre XIII.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts 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 angry sounding black metal screams while the music also adds in a lot of thrash emtal elements and the riffs also add in a lot of meldoy.
At times the music also captures the raw energy of crust punk while the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as the recording also having its atmospheric moments and tthe songs also mix in a lot of old school touches.
On this recording Alasthor bring out a very atmospheric and melodic style of occult black metal as w ell as adding in some elements of thrash metal and crust punk to create a very aggressive sounding album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Left Hand Path, Occultism , Aghora and Draconic Magick.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Alasthor and if you are of a fan atmospheric occult black and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wormhole" and "Divine Limited Flesh". 8/5 out of 10.
