Competent but ultimately unremarkable entry in underground Black Metal. The demo delivers cold, tremolo picked riffs and harsh, shrieked vocals that fit the genre’s grim aesthetic, but it rarely offers anything that feels fresh or compelling.
The songs maintain a consistent mid tempo menace with occasional bursts of aggression, yet the structures feel predictable and the riffs, while adequate, lack memorability. The production is clean and audible, which makes the music accessible, but it also strips away some of the rawness and feral energy that could have given the album a stronger impact. While the record succeeds in creating a dark, ritualistic atmosphere, it does so without innovation, leaving the listener with the sense that they’ve heard it all before.
In the end, ‘Wrath In Blasphemy’ is solid enough for fans seeking a grim, traditional Black Metal experience, but it remains average in both execution and emotional resonance, failing to leave a lasting mark on the listener.
