Review
There are sometimes some genre combinations that leave you both surprised but also interested. We didn’t know what to expect when we first read about Black Dub Metal, while it is exactly what you would imagine. A mix a dub bass, tremolo-picked guitars, psychedelic guitars, leaving a weird feeling. A mix between the raw violence of black metal, and the chill rhythms of dub and psychedelic rock. This builds a complex atmospheric black metal. Alternating between phases that are very BM-like, and then phases with reverbed riffs and soli, it’s an album you can listen easily.
Blaklande says they have a deep love for both Dub and Black Metal and it shows. They managed to weave those two genres into this album that drives you far away from anything you know about.
So shout out to this one-woman queer and antifascist black dub metal project, give them a listen and enjoy the trip!
