Strega are a band from Italy that plays a blackened from of heavy metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Strix Strygae" which will be released on April 30th as a joint effort between Masked Dead Records and Sulphur Music.
A very heavy traditional metal sound starts off the ep while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's era along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and synths are also added into certain sections of the recording.
Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams while clear singing can also be heard at times, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. A lot of the recording also makes a more old school style sound more modern along with some spoken words also being used briefly and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard, most of the ep sticks to a mid tempo direction.
Strega plays a musical style that takes black and heavy metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Arakkyan and cover Dark Fantasy themes.
In my opinion Strega are a very great sounding blackened heavy metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Til-Aar Hyleventidar". 8 out of 10.
