Bastard Cross are a band from Pennsylvania that plays a mixture of black, thrash metal and crust and this is a review of their 2025 album "Crossripper" which was released by Morbid And Miserable Records.
Drums start off the album before going into a heavier thrash metal direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Elements of crust are also added into the mid tempo sections of the songs while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and back up shouts are also used at times.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while album also update and 80's style for the modern era. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet old school direction along with some growls also being utilized at times,
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some clear chants also being utilized briefly. Growls and horror movie samples are also added into certain sections of the recording and clean playing is also added towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Blasphemy, Horror and Fantasy themes.
In my opinion Bastard Cross are a very great sounding mixture of black, thrash metal and crust and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Parasitic" "Satanic Pandemonium" "Demons At Midnight" and "Behead The Priest". 8 out of 10.
