Belgium/Thailand's YHWH has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Basgavat" which will be released October 30th by WormHoleDeath Records.
Distorted drones start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly grim black metal screams and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added in the fast riffing they also give the album more of a raw feeling while the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era of t he genre. Clear singing can also be heard briefly along with the recording also adding in a lot of death metal elements, the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some of the music also adding in a touch of the first wave era, a couple of songs also adds in a small amount of spoken words and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover darkness and blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from YHWH and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Chains Of Slavery" and "Filth City". 8 out of 10.
