Toronto, Ontario, Canada's duo Chasmdweller have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, sludge, funeral doom and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album Flesh Crusade".
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some synths and elements of noise a few seconds later while the vocals also add in a great amount of demonic sounding death metal growls. Evil sounding melodies are also added into the heavier sections of the songs and when t he music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals also have their guttural moments. Black metal screams can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads being done in an early 90's extreme metal style as well as the slower sections of the songs also adding in elements of sludge and funeral doom metal and the closing track also adds in more of a ritualistic atmosphere.
On this recording Chasmdweller focuses more on a blackened death metal style and cut back on the sludge and funeral doom metal elements that where a very huge part of their earlier recordings. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Death and Ancient Evil themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Chasmdweller and if you are a fan of blackened death emtal with some touches of sludge and funeral doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Seeping In Agony" and "Hexed Beyond Mortality". 8 out of 10.
