Nachzehrer – Misanthropie [Demo]

nachzehrer – misanthropie [demo]

Info

A new offering from one of the great promises of American Black Metal as of late. ‘Misanthropie’ comes just a little less than a month after its predecessor (which has already been reviewed by yours truly). But can it live up to the standards set by the past efforts?

The first noticeable thing is the much cleaner production this time around, especially in the guitar and bass departments. Which now aren’t too dependent on the cavernous amounts of reverb from yore. I have to say, I preferred the more crude production on ‘Eternal Deities of the Black Horde’, moreso because of the drum sound here, which to my ears is a bit too dry and compressed in the mix.

The only thing from the last EP that has endured are the vocals, which continue to be the shrill screams and whispery shrieks that I enjoyed so much.

Composition wise, ‘Misanthropie’ is a bit more diverse in comparison to its predecessor. Giving each instrument the needed breathing room in the right dose to create some very interesting songs and eerie passages.

Overall, the last EP still appeals more to my personal taste in terms of atmosphere and production. Nonetheless, this new demo still ascertains my statement on the fact that Nachzehrer is one of the newcomers from the USA that you should check out.
