Cleveland, Ohio's 72 Legions have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a brutal and melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "What A God Could Be" which also consists of songs from the ep of the same name and newer songs.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of brutal sounding blast b eats. Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads also add in a decent amount of melody.
Black metal screams can also be heard at times while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the mid tempo sections of the album also add in touches of slam death metal along with the recording also mixing in a good amount of thrash metal elements, clean playing and synths can also be heard briefly.
On this recording 72 Legions brings out a more brutal and melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anti religion, darkness and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from 72 Legions and if you are a fan of brutal and melodic black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "What A God Could Be" "Downfall of A Man" "Beautiful In Sin" and "Lamentation Of The Woman". 8 out of 10.
