Besatt are a duo from Norway that plays an avant garde form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Hjemkomst".
Heavy yet melodic sounding riffing stats off the album while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams. The songs also add in a great amount of avant garde structures along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can be heard.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Shouts can also be heard at times along with one track also introducing keyboards onto the recording and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Besatt plays a style of avant garde black metal that is very modern sounding and different from most bands of their home country. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written on Norwegian and cover mental illness and horror themes.
In my opinion Besatt are a very great sound9ing avant garde black metal b and and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nekromanti" "Nemesis" and "Gromstad". 8 out of 10.
