  Thymata  are  an  international  band  with  members  from  Sweden,  Greece  and  Indonesia  that  are  also  in  more  well  known  bands  such  as  Grimtone,  Apocalyptic  Leaders  and  Nattmaran  plays  a  very  raw  and  old  school  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2023  album  "Embraced  By  Death"  which  will  be  released  June  by  Adironick  Black  Mass  Records.


  A  very  dark  yet  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast b eats.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  while  the  songs  also  bring  in  a  great  amount  of  old  school  influences.  


  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  the  vocals  also  go  into  more  of  a  deep  and  grim  direction  at  times.  Choirs  and  ritualistic  chants  can  also  be  heard on  a  couple  of  songs  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  also  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  when  they  are  utilized,  melodies  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  and clean  playing  and  synths  can  also  be  heard  briefly  as  well  as  a  couple  of  the  tracks  also  being  long  and  epic  in  length.


  Thymata  plays  a  style  of  black  metal  that  is  very  raw  and  old  school  in  the  classic  European  tradition.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Luciferian,  Occultism,  Darkness  and  Death  themes.    


  In  my  opinion  Thymata  are  a  very  great  sounding  raw  and  old  school  occult  black  metal b and  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Pillars  Of  God"  "Abrasions  Of  Time"  "Desert  of  Dead  Souls"  and  "Embraced  by  Death".  8  out  of  10. occultblackmetalzine

War Productions will release the tape. The music is harsh, yet melodic black metal with multi layerd vocals and choirs. Big and atmospheric one minute, fast and claustrophobic the next. No compromises, only true devotion to the black arts. For fans of: Pure second wave black metal. Both Michael and Kostas B have a long background in the black metal community, having released many albums between them. Michael has written and recorded albums with: Grimtone, Arsonists of Lucifer, Nattmaran, Dommedag, Unholy Tenebris, Sattyg. Kostas B has written and recorded albums with: Apocalyptic Leaders and recently appeared on tracks with Grimtone.

In 2022 Kostas B was asked to join Grimtone as its permanent vocalist. Michael had an album written that didn't fit under the Grimtone banner and Thymata was born. Kostas B added vocals to the music in a new and exciting way, using choirs and multi layered vocal lines, creating an original approach to black metal. Ekay, who plays with Michael in Nattmaran, stepped in and recorded the drums for the album as a session member.
