Ischemic are a band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada that plays a mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Scabs" which will b e released in April.
A very slow, dark and heavy doom metal sound starts off the album while morbid sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. The vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats.
The songs also add in a great amount of 90's influences while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. The slower sections of the music also add in the heaviness of sludge metal along with all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet old school style along with one of the tracks also introducing clean playing onto the recording as well as the music also adding in touches of crust at times. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover darkn4ess themes.
In my opinion ISchemic are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Scabs" and "Illusions Of Humanity". 8 out of 10.
