Otras are a band from Slovakia that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Na Kridlach Morovida" which will b e released in October by Endless Chaos Records.
Dark sounding synths start off the album along with some drum beats a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Elements of punk can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and blast beats are added into the faster sections of the songs.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they give the album more of a raw feeling while the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody as well as the guitar leads adding in a more aggressive style when they are utilized
Otras plays a style of black metal that is very raw and aggressive sounding in the old school tradition as well as adding in elements of punk to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the are written in Slovakian and cover the obliteration of mankind.
In my opinion Otras are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Krize" and "Kosti Mrtvych Neradno Obracat'. 8 out of 10.
