The Pete Flesh Deathtrip are a band from Sweden that has been featured before in this zine and plays a mixture of blackened death metal and doom metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Svartnad" which was released by Critical Mass Recordings.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album and atmospheric sounds can also be heard in the music at times while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording while the vocals also bring in a great mixture of both black metal screams and death metal growls.
When the music speeds up it can get very brutal while also adding in elements of thrash, tremolo picking and blast beats and the riffs can also get very melodic at times while the slower sections of the songs bring in a great amount of doom metal influences and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic fashion and clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length and there is also a brief use of clean playing.
The Pete Flesh Deathtrip creates another recording that remains true to the mixture of blackened death metal and doom of the previous recording, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover evil, anti Christianity, death and damnation themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Pete Flesh Deathtrip and if you are a fan of blackened death metal and doom, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Burial Shore" "Melting The Forst From Your Eyes" and "Svartnad". 8 out of 10.
