Ancestros are a band from Spain t hat plays a very avant garde and experimental form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Blasfemia Austral" which will b e released in November by Cyclic Law.
Avant garde soundscapes start off the album along with some angry sounding black metal screams a few seconds later which also takes the music into a heavier direction. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording.
At times the music also goes into more of an experimental direction while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the album along with the solos and leads also adding in more of a chaotic style as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of synths.
Spoken words are also used at times along with the album also getting more ritualistic on later tracks as well as each song also sounding very different from each other, clear vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover the cultural heritage of Southern Europe.
In my opinion Ancestros are a very great sounding experimental and avant garde black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Orbitor" and "Black Drone Templexity". 8 out of 10.
