Vörst - Burn The Priest - Reviewed By bringerofdeathzine ! Check it out https://bringerofdeathzine.blogspot.com/2023/08/vorstburn-priestzenith-records2023-full.html

Vörst  are  a  band  from  Austin,  Texas  that  plays  a  blackened  form  of  heavy  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2023  album  "Burn  the  priest"  which  was  released  by  Zenith  Records.

  A  very  heavy  and  retro  sound  starts  off  the  album  which  also  brings  in  elements  of  thrash  and  traditional  metal.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  which  also  makes  an  80's ers  style  sound  more  modern  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  decent  amount  of  melody  and  at  time s the  vocals  also  add  in  more  of  a  first  wave  touch.

  All  of t he  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  while  spoken  word  parts  can  also  be  heard  briefly.  When  guitar  solos  and  leads a re  utilized  they  also  remain  very  true  to  an  old  school  style  along  with  one  song  also  introducing  clean  playing  onto  the  album ,  when  the  music  finally  speeds  up  a  small  amount  of  blast  beats  can  also  be  heard  on  a  couple  of  songs  as  well  as  one  track  also  adding  in  a  brief  use  of  clear  vocals.

  Vörst  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  black,  thrash  and  heavy  metal  an  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism, Occultism  and  Anti  Christianity  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Vörst  are  a  very  great  sounding  blackened  heavy  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Burn  The  Priest"  "Hellbound"  "Cursed"  and  "Through  The  Fire  We  Ride".  8  out  of  10. bringerofdeathzine
