Brahdr'uhz are a duo from Switzerland that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2018 compilation album "Land Of Darkness" which was released as a joint effort between Grimm Distribution and Lepre Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking along with a great amount of blast beats a few seconds later while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams as well as the music being very heavily rooted in the 90's.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark, raw and melodic style while some of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and when keyboards are utilized briefly they bring in the atmosphere of a classic horror movie and as the album progresses more modern influences can also be heard as well as some of the riffing bringing in a small amount of melody and acoustic guitars are added onto the closing track which is also an instrumental.
Brahdr'uhz plays a style of black metal that is very raw and traditional sounding the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Swiss and cover dark themes.
In my opinion Brahdr'uhz are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Desmahavos" "Stalegrada" "Dejsstrina" and "Dsysjiflet". 8 out of 10.
