Thou Shalt Not are a band from Twinsburg, Ohio that plays a satanic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Sanctuary Of The Vile" which was released by CDN Records.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the ep along with some death metal growls a few seconds later. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats and blackened screams are also a very huge part of the tracks.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also adds in a decent amount of 90's influences. Tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing along with some touches of doom/death metal also being added into the slower sections of the songs, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they also remain true to an old school style and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
Thou Shalt Not plays a musical style that goes back to the early 90's era of black and death metal. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Thou Shalt Not are a very great sounding satanic blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Witches Among Us" and "Swine You Are". 8 out of 10.
