Bloodcross are a band from Finland that plays a melodic mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Gravebound" which will be released in July by Personal Records.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's Swedish tradition. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in a great amount of melody along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Elements of thrash metal are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Clean playing can also be heard on a couple of tracks as well as one track also adding in a brief use of power metal style screams along with the closing song is very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, darkness and war themes.
In my opinion Bloodceoss are a very great sounding melodic black metal band with elements of thrash metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Warbeasts" "Gravebound" and "Howling Spirits". 8 out of 10.
