Sarcator are a band from Sweden that plays a melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2020 ep compilation "Visions Of Purgatory" which will be released on Rebruary 11th by Redefining Darkness Records and consists of their 2019 ep's "Screams From Below" and "Sepulchral Noise".
A very heavy thrash influenced sound starts off the compilation while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams along with the riffs also bringing in a great amount of melody and the music also mixes in a great amount of 80's and 90's influences but keeps it modern at the same time.
Elements of Swedish style melodic death metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the compilation. Throughout both of the recordings you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads also add in a decent amount of melody as well as remaining true to an old school style.
Tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing as well as all of the musical instruments on the recordings having a very powerful sound to them and all of the music sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover blood, fire and death themes.
In my opinion Sarcator are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Purgatory Unleashed" and "Desolate Visions". 8 out of 10.
