Pillaging Villagers are a band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that plays a mixture of punk, thrash and folk metal and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2022 album which will be released by March 11th.
Heavy riffing and melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while the vocals mix black metal screams and aggressive thrash style shouting style together. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with some clean vocals also being utilized at times and the music also adds in a great amount of thrash metal elements.
At times the music also captures the raw energy of punk rock while Celtic folk instruments are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs when they are utilized. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with one track also introducing keyboard onto the recording and throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of death metal growls and back up shouts.
Pillaging Villagers plays a musical style that takes punk, thrash and folk metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover victory and sorrow themes.
In my opinion Pillaging Villagers are a very great sounding mixture of punk, thrash and folk metal and if you are a f an of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wretched Of The Earth" "The Emperor" "Smash The Factory" and "Freedom Is Ours". 8 out of 10.
