Protocol F40.1 are a band from Lithuania that plays a very dissonant and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Fatalritual" which will be released in September.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a lot of dissonant melodies. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly death metal growls as well as the recording also mixing in a great amount of black metal elements.
When the music speeds up a great amount of brutal blast beats can also be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The songs also mix in both modern and old school influences along with some screams also being utilized at times, a couple of tracks also adds in a small amount of spoken word samples and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
Protocol F40.1 plays a style of blackened death metal that is very dissonant and brutal sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover war, sociophobia and horror themes.
In my opinion Protocol F40.1 are a very great sounding dissonant blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fatum Militare" and "Flagellent". 8 out of 10.
