Liberator returns after seven years with another demo. The two-piece from Sri Lanka is different than most Black Metal bands, in that they use the bass as the leading instrument.
‘Promo 2024’ holds three tracks ranging from quintessential Death/Black Metal riffs to more avant-garde sections. The songs are fairly unique for the genre, but don’t stand out enough to tell them apart. Topped off with reverbing growls so deep it’s almost echoing Mortician. The production is on the thin side, this unfortunately distracts from the otherwise menacing atmosphere.
Liberator throw in some decent songs to honour the fundamentals of old Necromantia, but don’t expect anything revolutionary.
