Na Zarot — Catacombs Review

Immediately after the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the open title track, Na Zarot, where one is not welcome to any fancy opening but straight into the music. A welcome to raw instrumentation and grim vocals that continue throughout the remaining three pieces, where the music is shaped into four songs, each developed in a motif expressed in the lyrics.

As one continues with their dark journey, one will find with Na Zarot‘s musical spectrum, there are no fancy characteristics such as fancy and epic keyboard sections/atmospheric passages or openings, epic solos of the guitars -of just giving and providing the listener’s ears with a good dose of direct of intensive lo-fi/up-tempo and raw to the bone underground black metal that consists of a demo/EP that is well-written.

-yes, Catacombs is a short release! But this release is ideal for being played continuously and cracked to eleven-

At the same time, Catacombs is well-executed in the devilmanship, which makes the music not just raw and underground but also dark as hell and depressive/sympathetic by the achievement of making the lo-fi recording, which sounds like it was recorded in a catacomb itself.

Catacombs also adds influences of both the raw energy-aggression of punk rock and the slow pace of depressive black metal, audio samples, (with a) bone-chilling atmosphere (running through the core of the music) the use of dark and raw enraged guitar tracks to deal with some personal problems with additional short melancholy melodies.
