Antzaat are a band from Belgium that plays a traditional form of black metal and this is a review of their 2018 ep "The Black Hand Of The Father" which was released by Immortal Frost Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some melodic guitar leads also being used at times and the riffs also bring in a great amount of melody.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them while the music brings in a great amount of 90's influences but also giving them more of a modern style along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the music always remains heavy.
Antzaat plays a style of black metal that is very raw, heavy melodic and traditional sounding, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Dystopian themes.
In my opinion Antzaat are a very great sounding traditional black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rite Of The New Dawn" and "The Black Hand of The Father". 8 out of 10. -Loki Astaroth
