Zlórtcht are a band from Australia that plays a mixture of black, doom, thrash metal and punk and this is a review of their 2023 album "Welcome To The Zlórtchterhaus" which was released by Witches Brew Records.
A very dark and heavy sound to t hem while the growls and screams are done in more of Hellhammer and Celtic Frost style. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also being very heavily rooted in t he 80's era and the solos and leads are also done in an old school style.
At times the music captures the raw energy of punk rock while most of the album brings in more of a first wave black metal style. Elements of thrash metal can also b e heard in some of the guitar riffing along with the slower sections of the songs being very heavily rooted in doom metal, when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard and the closing track is also very long and epic in length.
Zlórtcht plays a musical style that takes black, doom, thrash metal and punk and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover darkness and death themes.
In my opinion Zlórtcht are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom, thrash metal and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Winter" "Priestess Of The Sun" and "Summer (Parts I-III) I -Genesis, II - Evolution, III - Termination". 8 out of 10.
