Diabolical Raw are a duo from Turkey that plays a very symphonic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Elegy Of Fire Dusk" which will be released in September by Base Records Production.
A very dark, ritualistic and nature orientated sounding intro starts off the album while also introducing symphonic elements into the music which also mixes in with the heavier side of the songs. Spoken word parts can also be heard on a few tracks along with the faster sections of the tracks also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
Vocals a re a mixture of g rim black metal screams and death metal growls while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some stringed instruments also being utilized quite a bit throughout the recording as well as a later song also being an instrumental and when solos and leads are finally introduced on the album they are also done in a very melodic style.
Diabolical Raw plays a musical style that takes sympho0nic black metal and mixes it with death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Central Asian Turkish Mythology.
In my opinion Diabolic Raw are a very great sounding symphonic blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Commands Of The Gods" "Tilgen's Fall" "The Last War With Evil" and "The Council At the Asar land". 8 out of 10.
