GAST - Morkret kallar
Black Market Metal Label
A few years ago there was a Swedish death metal act called ASYLUM who enjoyed a decade long career. They released a couple of albums during those years but it wasn't good enough. So in 2015 their bassist, guitarist and drummer ditched their vocalist, got a new one and became a Swedish black metal act. Sounds familiar as far as history goes, Hmmm?
Well if the founders of black metal's second wave could do it then why not GAST? On this their debut album the four piece embrace the classic sound of mid-90's Swedish black metal. Opener "Distans" hits you with a typical thrash, blastbeat and burn attack. As the release progresses on they incorporate a thicker sound structure. Aside from the bludgeoning riffs, bass lines and powerhouse drum work there's plenty of eerie as well as icy guitar lead fills. The vocals are like a harsh barking variety.
Toss in some atmospheric / acoustic breaks, as well as nods to MARDUK and DARK FUNERAL plus a decent production job and you've got something very cool. Be thankful it's 2019 and not a decade ago when troo kvlt naysayers and hipster noobs would be pushing a hate factor towards this. GAST's debut here is for fans of the music and not the bullshit people like to tack onto it. Great black metal here people.
