THE TREMBLING VOICES OF CONQUERED MEN (2021)

by VAHRZAW

supported by

David Fischer After 2018's Husk (which won my internal voting for artwork of the year) and delays aplenty, finally one of my most anticipated albums of 2020/21 has been released. Again being graced by a compelling cover artwork, TTVoCM is exactly what I wished for: more of the trademark Vahrzaw no-folderol-blackened death metal. Riffs galore, blasphemous battery blasting and a pissed off Van Doorn spewing sulfuric acid all over you. Vahrzaw do not give a shit about squiggly influences. Highly addictive! Favorite track: The Pessimist.

Australian black/death metal band Vahrzaw have been perfecting their sound since the early '90s and creating a blend of the two styles that doesn't sound like anything else out there. At this stage their music has evolved enough to make it sound almost progressive in nature, where they take the best elements of both the styles, throw in some thrash metal elements, a tinge of melody, and create their own palette and go about their inimitable way of expressing themselves using unique and vivid brush strokes with colours both familiar and bold. It's likely to get lost in their deceptive, constantly changing, labyrinthine structures which fool the listener into thinking he's been there before and the next minute he's contending with a completely different soundscape. None of it comes across as jarring just because it's so coherently and expertly done and he's compelled to experience it all over again to make sense of this phenomenon, this illusion. It's easy to see that the fourth full-length by these criminally underrated veterans is brilliantly written and despite being rooted in the old sound, it not only stands the test of time but urges one to revisit it and attempt to decipher and fully understand its full scope and genius.
