Thanatotherion are a solo project from San Jose, California that plays a blackened form of thrash metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Alienation Manifesto" which was released by I, Voidhanger Records.
A very fast and heavy sound starts off the album along with a great amount of brutal blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few death metal growls and the keyboards add in more of an atmospheric touch.
When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they are done in a very melodic style while the riffs also add in a great amount of thrash metal elements. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the songs also being very long and epic in length, spoken word samples and noises can also be heard in certain sections of the album as well as tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing.
Thanatotherion plays a style of blackened thrash metal that focuses more on being modern instead of retro as well as adding in some keyboards and technical death metal elements to create something very different. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the complete rejection and disgust for the human species.
In my opinion Thanatotherion are a very great sounding blackened thrash metal solo project and if you are a fan of t his musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Raven And The Box Of Stars" and "Codex Crepusculum". 8 out of 10.
