Svntarer are a duo from Austria that plays a mixture of black, sludge and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Exitus Triumphalis" which will be released in December by F.D.A Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with the vocals also adding in more of an old school death metal style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of sludge metal are also added into the slower sections of the album while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic post metal style style along with the music also adding in a great amount of black metal influences
Some of the vocals also go into more of a shouting hardcore direction at times as well as some of the fast riffing also adding in tremolo picking along with one song also introducing synths and spoken words unto the album, a couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length and the bonus track is an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, melancholy and anti religion themes.
In my opinion Svntarer are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Touch The Saints" Flesh Vessels" and "Burnt Out Into Oblivion". 8 out of 10.
