Sacremento, California's Sarcoptes has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric and symphonic mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their album "Prayers To Oblivion" which will b e released in 2023 by Transcending Obscurity Records.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. Symphonic sounding keyboards are also a very huge part of the recording while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Elements of thrash metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are added into the songs.
The music also has its atmospheric moments along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some of the faster riffing also adding in a good amount of tremolo picking. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover historical tragedies in World War II and The Vietnam War.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sarcoptes and if you are a fan of atmospheric and symphonic black and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Trenches" and "Massacre At my Lai". 8 out of 10.
