Okrütnik are a band from Poland that plays a mixture of black, thrash, speed and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Krwawy Pontyfikat" which was released by Ossuary Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album while also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts before going into a heavier thrash metal direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of speed metal elements and blast beats.
Vocals a re done in a growling style that is very close the the first wave era of black metal and 80's death metal while screams can also be heard at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to an old school style and the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in touches of traditional metal.
The album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being long and epic in length and as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover folk tales and the exposed crimes of Christianity.
In my opinion Okrütnik are a very great sounding mixture of black, thrash, speed and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Krwawy Pontyfikat" "Wdowa po Rzeźniku ". 8 out of 10.
