Nachtblut are a band from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very symphonic and melodic mixture of black, dark and gothic metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Todschick" which will be released on February 21st by Napalm Records.
A very symphonic and orchestral orientated sound starts off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim black metal screams and rough gothic metal singing can also be heard at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while some of the tracks also add in a small amount of 80's style synths. Growls are also added into certain sections of the album along with some songs also adding in a small amount of spoken words and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard as well elements of folk metal also being added towards the end of the album and the closing track also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars.
On this recording Nachtblut brings out more of a symphonic and mid tempo mixture of black, dark and gothic metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover contemporary societal issues.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nachtblut and if you are a fan of symphonic black, dark and gothic metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Von Hass Getrieben" "Das Leben Der Anderen" "Gotterstille" and "Schneller als Der Tod". 8 out of 10.
