Na Zarot – Catacombs Review: A Raw Black Metal solo artist from Germany. November 6th, 2021 saw Na Zarot independently release his debut demo album, Catacombs. which includes four dark and sympathetic tracks, that would gratify raw and depressive black metal fans.
Na Zarot – Catacombs Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Which consists of dark and raw riffage…
Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves grim sympathetic cries/screams
Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of raw drum patterns and beats
In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. Immediately after the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the open title track, NA ZAROT, where one is not welcome to any fancy opening but straight into the music. A welcome to raw instrumentation and grim vocals that continue throughout the remaining three pieces, where the music is shaped into four songs, each developed a motif expressed in the lyrics.
As one continues with their dark journey, one will find with NA ZAROT’s musical spectrum, there are no fancy characteristics such as fancy and epic keyboard sections/atmospheric passages or openings, epic solos of the guitars -of just giving and providing the listener’s ears with a good dose of direct of intensive lo-fi/up-tempo and raw to the bone underground black metal that consists of a demo/EP that is well-written.
-yes, CATACOMBS is a short release! But this release is ideal for being played continuously and cracked to eleven-
At the same time, CATACOMBS is well-executed in the devilmanship, which makes the music not just raw and underground but also dark as hell and depressive/sympathetic by the achievement of making the lo-fi recording, which sounds like it was recorded in a catacomb itself,
CATACOMBS also adds influences of both the raw energy-aggression of punk rock and the slow pace of depressive black metal, audio samples, (with a) bone-chilling atmosphere (running through the core of the music) the use of dark and raw enraged guitar tracks to deal with some personal problems with additional short melancholy melodies.
NA ZAROT’s vocal work is done in a sympathetic way of grim, cries/screams with short sad female voices -altogether adding that extra depression /personal problems to the instrumentation, vocals, and music.
I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. The whole lot! NA ZAROT is a great release, recommended for any raw/underground & depressive black metal fan
Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Underground, sympathetic, raw and old-school
Finally, closing the review with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. Since there is nothing to disrelish within the musical world of NA ZAROT. This concludes the Na Zarot – Catacombs Review.
