Sodomisery are a band from Sweden that plays a very symphonic and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Mazzaroth" which will be released in September by Testimony Records.
A very fast and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the orchestrations and keyboards also giving the music more of a symphonic feeling when t hey are utilized.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing and acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks along with some clear vocals also being added into certain sections of the recording.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word samples and the music is heavily rooted in the classic Swedish style but modern at the same time. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mental illness in society, religion, and the struggle of individualism.
In my opinion Sodomisery are a very great sounding melodic and 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 'Coming Home" "A Storm Without A Wind" and "Demon In heaven". 8 out of 10.
