Rampancy are a solo project from London, Ontario, Canada that plays a very raw and anarchist mixture of black, death metal, grindcore and harsh noise and this is a review of his self released 2021 album "Coming Insurrection".
A very fast, raw and lo-fi sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style along with the vocals being mostyl high pitched black metal screams and one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some harsh noises and power electronics also being mixes in with the heavier riffing.
Clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with all of the drum beats also being programmed. Some of the faster riffing also mixes in elements of grindcore as well as some of the riffing also showing an influence of death metal, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Anarchism and Anti Fascism themes.
In my opinion Rampancy are a very great sounding raw and anarchist mixture of black, death metal, grindcore and harsh noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "King Of The Locusts" "Perpetual Revolution" "Left For Dead" and "Wheel of Time". 8 out of 10.
