Sarcasm are a band from Sweden that plays a melodic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2017 album "Within The Sphere Of Ethereal Minds" which will be released in April by Dark Descent Records.
A very heavy sound along with melodic guitar leads start off the album and the riffs also use a great amount of melody and after awhile high pitched black metal screams are added onto the recording while a great amount of blast beats can be heard in the faster sections of the songs along with a great amount of death metal elements.
Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and death metal growls are also used at times and there is also a brief use of classical guitars on a couple of songs before returning back to a heavier direction and flutes can also be heard briefly while a lot of t he fast riffing brings in a great amount of tremolo picking and one of the tracks is very long and epic in length and elements of thrash are added onto the closing song.
Sarcasm plays a musical style that goes back to the 90's era of Swedish melodic black and death metal before the genre got somewhat mainstream, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophy, surrealism, and universe themes.
In my opinion Sarcasm are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bloodsoaked Sunrise" "Scars of A Land Forgotten" and "The Drowning Light At The Edge of Dawn". 8 out of 10.
