Gravewitch are a band from Bend, Oregon that plays a very melodic and blackened form of thrash metal and this is a review of their self titled 2025 album which was released by Rock Sun Records.
A very hard and heavy thrash metal sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and blast beats are added into the faster sections of the songs.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also makes an old school style sound more modern. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in more of a melodic style along with some of the faster riffing also adding in a small amount of tremolo picking and a couple of songs also add in a small amount of clean playing.
Gravewitch plays a melodic form of black metal that they also mix with thrash metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Black Magick, Witchcraft and Horror themes.
In my opinion Gravewitch are a very great sounding melodic blackened thrash metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Damnable Evil" "Ritual Reanmation" "Woodland Trance" and "The Once Sacred Gift Of Life". 8 out of 10.
