Sarcasm are a band from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very melodic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Morninghoul" which will be released in April by Hammerheart Records.
A very fast, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while also adding in a great amount of blast b eats. Vocals are mostly black metal screams along with the music also adding in a great amount of death emtal elements as well as all of t he musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Classical guitars can also be heard briefly along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of keyboards as well a s the album also having its brutal moments, operatic female vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly
On this recordingf Sarcasm gets a lot more diverse with their melodic style of blackened death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon based upon a two-minded ghoul and it's journey through its miserable existence upon Earth and the abyss.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sarcasm and if you are a fan of melodic blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'As Northern Gates Open" "Dying Embers On Solitude" and "Absence From Reality". 8 out of 10.
