Blod are a duo from France that plays a mixture of black, sludge and funeral doom metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Serpent" which was released by Malpermesita Records.
A very slow, dark and heavy sludge metal sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Clean vocals are also a very huge part of the recording along with some aggressive screams also being utilized at times which also gives the music more of a blackened touch.
The riffs also bring in the heaviness of funeral doom metal while spoken word parts, ritualistic chants and percussions can also be heard briefly. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, one of the tracks also introduces synths onto the album and the whole album also sticks to a slower direction.
Blod plays a musical style that takes black, sludge and funeral doom metal and mixes it in with a more clean vocals approach to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyri cs cover Occultism, Thelema, Witchcraft and Mythology themes.
In my opinion Blod are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge and funeral doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lvcifer" "Serpents" and "Selene". 8 out of 10.
