Putrascension are a band from New Jersey that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Forever Below" which will be released in October by Horror Gore Pain Death Records.
A very fast sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. The riffs also add in a lot of melody while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the Swedish style and death metal growls can also b e heard at times.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. At times the music also gets very brutal sounding along with a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing, synths and spoken word parts, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the closing track is very long and epic in length.
Putrascension plays a musical style that takes the melodic forms of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion Putrascension are a very great sounding melodic 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 "Deeper Hell" "Stillness" and "Meslemtaea".. 8 out of 10.
