Astral Horror (Finland) - Changer Of Destiny - Reviewed By OccultBlackMetalZine ! Check it out here at this link: https://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/2022/06/astral-horrorchanger-of-destiny2022.html

Astral  Horror  are  a  duo  from  Finland  that  plays  a  mixture  of  war,  black  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2022  demo  "Changer  Of  Destiny".

  A  very  dark  yet  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  demo  while  synths  can  also  be  heard  in  the  background  briefly,  All  of  the  drum  beats  are  programmed  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  the  vocals a re  a  mixture  of  death  metal  growls  and  black  metal  screams.

  Melodies  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  whispered  vocals  can  also  be  heard  briefly.  Acoustic  guitars  can  also  be  heard  in  certain  sections  of  the  recording  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats  and  war  metal  elements  and  a  lot  of  the  music  is  also  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  era  as  well  as  a  small  amount  of  melodic  guitar  solos  and  leads  also  being  added  on  the  closing  track.

  Astral  Horror  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  war,  black  and  death  metal  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  war  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Astral  Horror  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  war,  black  and  death  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  duo.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Astral  Horror".  8 out  of  10. - OccultBlackMetalZine

Location: Finland

Raw underground metal from Finland - the duo of blackened death metal adepts who have never met each other produces finest caveman tunes for fans of Beherit, Black Witchery, Dark Funeral and Incantation.

Changer of Destiny is the EP released in 2022 is deeply rooted in DIY ethics, the production quality is exactly on the level it needs to be for the war metal standards - grim guitar tone with occasional acoustic pieces, drum machine, and diverse vocals varying in range between the guttural deep growls and shrieking screams.

Astral Horror violently explores the darker side of music, with radical denial of mainstream metal. The two songs are packed to the brim with extreme, classic metal for die-hard fans of the ugliest of crafts.

New release and live shows later this year!
