This is a review of a 4 way split album between U.S.A's Wraith, Black Kniofe, GraveRipper and Russia's Unholy Night called "Faster Than The Fucking Devil" which will be released in September by Wise Blood Records and we will start off the review with Wraith who return with their mixture of black, thrash, speed metal and punk.
Their side of the split starts out with a thrash influenced sound while the solos and leads also bring in elements of speed metal. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also capturing t he raw energy of punk rock at times and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can also b e heard.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the music also making an 80's style sound more modern, a small amount of melody can also b e heard in some of the guitar riffing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover religion, war, violence and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wraith and if you are a fan of black, thrash, speed metal and punk, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Seven Serpents".
Next up is Black Knife a band that plays a mixture of black, thrash metal and punk.
Their side of the split starts out with a punk influenced sound while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of thrash metal elements and blast beats.
A lot of t he music is very heavily rooted in the 80's but mixed with a more modern day aggression along with all of the songs sticking to either a fast or mid tempo direction and a small amount of clean playing can be heard on the closing song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover alcohol, horror, violence and Satanism themes.
In my opinion Black Knife 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 TRACK "Satanic Commander".
