Seidhr are a band from Michigan that plays a mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Draconthropy" which was released by Witches Brew and also consists of their 2023 ep "Wrath Of The Hellbitch" as bonus tracks.
A very apocalyptic sound starts off the album along with a brief use of keyboards before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of thrash metal are also added into some of the riffs while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's and 90's as well as being modern at the same and death metal growls are also utilized at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain very true to an old school extreme metal style along with the music sticking mostly to either a slow or mid tempo direction as well as one song also being an Absu cover, acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly and the ep tracks focus more on an aggressive and rawer style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Magick, Evil, Torture and Violence themes.
In my opinion Seidhr are a very great sounding mixture of black and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Under The Sign Of The Serpent" "Akkadian Invokation" "Wrath Of The Hellbitch" and "The Okkult Order Of The Saxons". 8 out of 10.
