Gangs Of Old Ladies are a band from Australia that plays a symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Death Magic Volume One".
Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the ep and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Clean playing can also b e heard briefly along while all of songs also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and operatic female vocals can also be heard at times.
Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the last track also adds in a small amount of fast playing and blast beats along with most of the music sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Gangs Of Old Ladies plays a musical style that takes symphonic black metal and mixes it with death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover monsters, horror and dark imagery themes.
In my opinion Gangs Of Old Ladies are a very great sounding symphonic mixture of black and death emtal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Inner Demons". 8 out of 10.
