Precious Blood are a band from new York that plays a mixture of black, doom and thrash metal with a musical style they refer to as being 'Blackened Caribbean Doom Metal' and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "False Prophets".
A very dark, slow and heavy doom metal sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. A lot of the vocals are also done in more of a clear style while the harsh side is done in more of a grim black metal style and the solos and leads are done in more of a classic metal direction.
Some of the riffing also adds in elements of thrash metal while a lot of the music is rooted in the 80's with a more modern aggression. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some back up shouts also being utilized at times, blast beats and fast playing can also be heard on a couple of songs. Tribal and ritualistic sounds are also used briefly and the closing track also adds in a small amount of female vocals.
Precious Blood plays a musical style that takes black, doom and thrash metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the enduring spirit of the Caribbean, shaped by the brutal history of colonization and the darker aspects of human existence.
In my opinion Precious Blood are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "False Prophets" "Shadow's Cross" and "Whore Of The Grave". 8 out of 10.
