Abschworzunge are an international project that plays a very brutal form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Whorl" which was released by I, Voidhanger Records.
A very distorted sound starts off the ep before going into more of a heavier and brutal direction while the solos and leads bring in more of a dark and chaotic style. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
Vocals are mostly death metal growls mixed in with a few black metal screams while a couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the riffing also adding in a small amount of melody.
Power electronics can also be heard at times as well as one song also adding in a brief use of spoken words, tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing along with one song also adding in a small amount of synths. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover emptiness, cosmic indifference and the stark reality of human insignificance.
In my opinion Abschworzunge are a very great sounding blackened death metal project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Heinous Constellations" and "Whorl". 8 out of 10.
