Savaoth are a solo project from Greece that plays a very experimental form of industrial black metal and this is a review of his self released 2019 ep "Neophyte".
Ritualistic soundscapes and throat singing start off the ep before going into a heavier direction while clean playing can also be heard briefly. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies can also be heard in some parts of the music along with the songs also adding in some synths and industrial elements. At times the music also gets very experimental while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style and during the faster sections of the tracks a decent amount of blast beats can be heard and throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean vocals can also be heard briefly and death metal growls are added on the closing track.
Savaoth plays a style of black metal that is very modern sounding while the experimental and industrial elements makes the songs stand out a lot more. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover occult, metaphysical and psychological themes.
In my opinion Savaoth are a very great sounding experimental and industrial black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eleusis" and "Gnosis". 8 out of 10.
