Reaper not to be confused with the band from Sweden of the same name are a band from Australia that plays a mixture of black, thrash, speed metal and punk and this is a review of their 2022 album "Viridian Inferno" which will be released in April by Dying Victims Productions.
Church bells start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast b eats.
Elements of thrash, speed and first wave black metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while the music also captures the raw energy of punk rock at times while some dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing along with the songs making an 80's style sound more modern as well as all of the music sticking to a heavier direction and when guitar leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very old school style. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Death, Destruction and Armageddon themes.
In my opinion Reaper are a very great sounding mixture of black, thrash, speed metal and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Satanic Panic" "The Reaper" Sentinels Of Heresy" and "Internal Torment". 8 out of 10.
