Resonance - Otras - Na Kridlach Morivida
Otras - Na Kridlach Morivida 8.5/10
Košice Slovakia madmen Otras return with their only second full-length album after 2024s Čas karhať. The new album ‘Na Kridlach Morivida’ ("On the Wings of the Plague") is the highly aggressive combination of raw speed metal, furious black metal, combined with punk delivered at insane speeds
At a mere 32 minutes Na Kridlach Morivida is an album delivered with incredible and the upmost intensity, from the subtle intro to the vibrant speed driven opener ‘’Kropiť polia jedom’’ the die is immediately cast, this is extreme music for extreme people. Fast, furious and frenetic is the only way to describe the chaos that is ‘’Obrí muž’’, its mayhem the perfect blend of speed driven black metal, its tip of the hat to the eighties giving it that propulsive edge, the blast beats are excellent and shrieks of rage damn near perfect. The insanely paced 2/4 assault of ‘’Kosti mŕtvych neradno obracat’’ continues the madness despite its deceptive intro, its slower bridge maximizes headbanging capacity, its grooves malicious yet memorable, and the solo that marks ‘’Kríže’’ is simply unbelievable,
Na Kridlach Morivida is a blitzkrieg of an album awash in waves of feedback and genuine aggressive malice delivered with precise musicianship that is as technical as it is raw. The musical representative of the obliteration of mankind through sickness, pestilence, and filth, Otras have created pure extremity with no care for the consequences. What a record!
