EP review: Bestial Entity - Treason Of The Dead (2021)

 


Bestial Entity - Treason Of The Dead

Greece

Fistbang Records 


Bestial Entity, a duo from Greece, unleash their monstrous and crushing four-track EP called “Treason Of The Dead” via Fistbang Records.


These maniacs are adept at playing dark and sepulchral black/death that sounds like a mix between bands like Pseudogod, Resurgency and Hate Manifesto. The atmosphere on this release is purely blasphemous and will chill you to the bone. The guitar tone is deliciously filthy, with riffs that sound like they emanate from the abyss, paired with a thunderous and cohesive percussion that is able to switch from mid-tempo to blasts with absolute ease. Deep and menacing growls are perfectly integrated into the mix, not too loud, nor too soft, and really add depth to the overall assault. The production is also very good and gives clarity to the performance.


It’s a fairly short EP, yet an utterly convincing representation of what the group is all about. If you enjoy the amalgamation of styles between black, death and war metal, then this will no doubt tickle your fancy. “Treason Of The Dead” features 9 minutes of pure unholy black/death terror. Hopefully a full-length will manifest at some point. Recommended. (HT)
