For the most part Trest keep things raw but immersive. The guitars are layered up to create an enveloping wall of sound, granting extra mileage to the simplest of riffs. Although drums are certainly unpolished, they present a full-bodied throb that works to fill out the mix, adding weight and gravity to the overall look of this music. Vocals opt for a lower register than is common for black metal, again solidifying the Hate Forest similarities, this also calls to mind Hymnr’s recent offering ‘Far Beyond Insanity’.

Quality as always from Trest.

Black LP + insert.
