Bewitched are a band from Sweden that has a history going back to the 90's and plays a blackened form of thrash metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Diabolical Death Mass" which will be released on April 24th by Osmose Productions.
A very dark and ritualistic sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the music also adds in a lot of thrash metal elements. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals bring in more of a first wave black metal style.
A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's era while also being very modern at the same times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain very true to an old school style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats as well as the album also bringing in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, some of the songs also show an influence of traditional metal.
On this recording Bewitched remain true to the blackened style of thrash metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Bewitched and if you are a fan of blackened thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Diabolical Death Mass" "Black Spells & Unclean Spirits" "By Satan Enslaved" and "Enforcer of Evil". 8 out of 10.
