Churchburn are a band from Rhode Island that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a blackened mixture of doom, sludge and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Genocidal Rite" which will b e released in November by translation Loss Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album along with some harsh noises and spoken word parts a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times.
Clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard on some of the tracks along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark style as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies, on of the songs is also an instrumental and the closing song also adds in some session work from John McEntee of Incantation The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, suffering and agony themes
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Churchburn and if you are a fan of black, sludge, doom and death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Genocidal Rite" and "Scarred". 8 out of 10.
