Valletta are a band from North Carolina that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of blackened death metal and black'n'roll and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Bitter Lucid Truth" which will be released by Lifeforce Records.
A very heard and heavy sound starts off the ep along with some death metal growls and few seconds later and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Elements of black'n'roll are added into the mid tempo sections of the songs and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
A lot of the music also mixes in influences of crust and hardcore while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style with some old school rock and metal touches. Screams are also utilized at times along with most of the tracks sticking to a mid tempo direction and a couple of songs also adds in a small amount of clean playing and clear singing can also be heard brieflu.
On this recording Valletta takes blackened death metal, black'nroll, crust and hardcore and mixes them together to create a very aggressive and heavy sound. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anger towards today's political climate.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Valletta and if you are a f an of black'nroll, blackened death metal, crust and hardcore, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blood And Jesus" and "Spitting The Word". 8 out of 10.
