Polemicist are a band from Pennsylvania that plays a philosophical and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Zarathustian Impressions" which will be released by Folkvangr Records.
A classical influenced intro starts off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction which also introduces black metal screams onto the recording as well as some death metal growls also being used at times and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style. At times the music also gets very atmospheric and epic sounding along with some of the riffing also showing some influences of thrash and traditional metal as well as being very heavily rooted in the 90's Swedish tradition and the album also closes with an instrumental.
Polemicist plays a musical style that takes the melodic sides of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the writings of Nietzsche.
In my opinion Polemicist are a very great sounding melodic and philosophical 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 "Concerning The Rabble" "On Redemption" and "Return To Solitude". 8 out of 10.
