Sweden's Regnvm Animale has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw and melodic mixture of black metal, crust punk and d beat and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Farsot/Vanmakt" which will be released on September 30th by Deutsche Bulvsn Bolag.
Distort4ed sounds and spoken word parts start off the ep before going into a heavier musical direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while you can also hear all of the instruments that are present on the recording and the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the music more of a raw black metal feeling while the vocals are done in more of an angry crust punk style. Elements of d beat van be heard in the mid tempo sections of the songs along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and throughout the recording you can also h ear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clear vocals are added on the second track.
On this ep Regnvm Anmale remains true to the raw and melodic mixture of b lack metal, crust punk and d beat that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover the imminent collapse of both nature and society.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Regnvm Animale and if you are a fan of raw and melodic black emtal with elements of crust punk and d beat, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Vanmakt". 8out of 10.
