Gravedancer are a solo project from Brazil that plays a blackened form of thrash metal and this is a review of their ep "Ripping Metal" which will be released in 2021 by Hellprod Records.
A very hard, heavy and retro sound starts off the album while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 80's era. Vocals are done in mostly a first wave black metal style while the music also brings in a great amount of thrash metal elements and the solos and leads stick to an old school style.
NWOBHM influences can also be heard in some parts of the music while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the ep closes with a cover of Venom's "Welcome To Hell".
Gravedancer plays a style of blackened thrash metal that is very heavily rooted in the 80's first wave style along with the primitive atmosphere of the Brazilian style. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover occultism, darkness and metal themes.
In my opinion Gravedancer are a very great sounding blackened thrash metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Winds Of Doom" and "Evil Spell". 8 out of 10.
