United Kingdom's Phobetor have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "A Solitary Vigil" which will be released in July by Black Jasper Records.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the ep before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing can also be heard one a couple of the tracks and most of the ep is also very heavily rooted in the modern era and more brutal then previous releases.
On this recording Phobetor moves away from the groove metal elements of earlier releases and focuses more on a brutal blackened death metal style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nightmare themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Phobetor and if you are a fan of blackened death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Solitary Vigil" and "Where Mournfall Shadows Dwell". 8 out of 10.
