Gehtika are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2017 ep "The Great Reclamation".
A very heavy and symphonic sound starts off the ep and after awhile black metal screams and a death metal growls are added onto the recording and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard along with riffs also bringing in a great amount of melody and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic fashion.
Throughout the recording there is a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and stringed instruments are also used at times and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and the music also mixes in a great amount of 90's influences while still sounding very modern.
Gehtika 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 for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover dark, philosophical and mythological themes.
In my opinion Gehtika are a very great sounding symphonic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Existence Or Oblivion" and "The Human Divergence". 8 out of 10.
