The First Three Sins of Wampyric Countess
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Bloody Keep and his album, Wampyric Countess.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features icy-lo-fi melodic riffs/straight-up riffage with a flare of dungeon synth keys. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Possession of blood-curdling and crackling vocals. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of a complete arsenal of booming and dynamic beats and fills, programmed by a drum machine.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Bloodthirsty and Vampric songs, as if recorded in Vlad the Impaler’s domain.
Immediately after the listener presses the play button, they are welcome to the opening piece, SIGILS AND SYMBOLS, where they are welcome to raw, unplugged, blackened instrumental and raw-vocal work…
One continues their blood thirst lust journey with the second piece, Wampyric Countess, and the remaining two songs, The Death Of The Sun and Wampyric Countess.
Bloody Keep’s musical spectrum seems to keep the music raw, underground and unholy as hell—not just combining elements of black metal’s cold and raw atmosphere, a flare of dungeon synth keys and avant-garde elements, and a touch of aggression of hardcore punk is added.
BLOODY KEEP has delivered and provided this unholy vampiric black metal. The sound production sounds unprofessional—but on purpose—as if recorded in Vlad the Impaler’s damp, dark, and cold domain.
Wampyric Countess EP consists of excellent devilmanship that utilises darkened instrumental art of various tones, tempos, and atmospheres consisting of icy lo-fi melodic riffs/straight-up riffage. A programmed drum to produce that bleak dungeon sound strikes and beats, dungeon synths to capture that catacomb/dungeon atmosphere.
Two other instruments are used, and an accordion is also featured to capture that old vampiric folklore/tale flare, topped with blood-curdling and crackling vocals. The end of track two, Wampyric Countess, adds a touch of avant-garde to the music, which features a squeaky dog toy/kazoo.
The album comes to an end with the last song, song name We want to give a shoutout to Pennsylvania Music for letting us review Bloody Keep and his album, Wampyric Countess. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
