United Kingdom's Chestcrush have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, sludge, death metal and grindcore and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ" which will be released in April.
Distorted voices start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the slower sections of the songs also add in the heaviness of sludge emtal. When the music speeds up a great amount of brutal blast beats and grindcore elements can also be heard and the vocals also add in a lot of death metal growls.
Black metal screams can also be heard at times while tremolo picking can also be heard in the faster riffing. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also adding in a brief use of spoken word samples as well as some of the riffing also bringing in a small amount of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are done in a very chaotic style and the whole album also sticks to a very heavy and brutal direction as well as one song also being a Crowbar cover. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, gore and violence themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Chestcrush and if you are a fan of brutal blackened death metal with a touch of sludge metal and grindcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Underneath This Rotten Soil Bodies Are Still Bleeding" "Existence Is Punishment"{ and "As The Damned Writhe In Eternal Woe". 8 out of 10.
