Trysth – Soulchambers
Serpent Eve Records – 2014
Metal, Sludge, Atmospheric
Rated: ***
Sadness, decay and forlorn emotions drip all over the first release by Bulgarian metallers Trysth. Soulchambers has six tracks that are completely metal and massively sludge but most importantly atmospheric and dark. They manage to walk this desolate and forsaken tightrope between unsoiled post rock elements and heavy snarling destruction to an impressive degree. Soulchambers as the title might already hint at sounds like an introspective journey towards self-knowledge; understanding of the id, the ego and the superego that all seem simultaneously engaged in conflict and thus creates a great seat of anxiety and angst. But don’t worry, the guys don’t go all Freudian on your ass. They instead search the metallic landscape for destructive basslines, mincing riffs, bleak guitar colors and towering drums to impose and batter the inward expedition into your soul. And have you mourn together with your own melancholy and grief…
