Diabol Boruta are a band form Poland that plays folk metal with some elements of heavy, thrash, black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Zywioly" which will be released on January 17th.
Keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Clean vocals are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of folk rock are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Nature sounds and acoustic guitars are also introduced on one of the tracks along with the riffs also mixing in the heaviness of thrash and traditional metal.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some tracks also adding in death metal growls and black metal screams, percussions and folk instruments can also be heard in certain sections of the album and on one song the vocals go into more of an aggressive shouting style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover Slavic mythology and one song also covers the mythology of the Australian Aborigines.
In my opinion Diaboli Boruta are a very great sounding mixture of folk, black, death, thrash and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Pielgrzym" "Of Black Faires" and "Ziema (Dreamtime)". 8 out of 10.
