Label:Independent
Beatrix
is a Finnish black/thrash metal band
formed in 2019 in the Tampere/Lempäälä
region. Known for their aggressive and theatrical live shows in the Finnish underground scene, their music
blends aggressive black thrash with elements inspired by the New Wave of
British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and maybe their sound remember me some old speed
thrash names who was the precursor of extreme styles (the first fuckin wave of
thrash speed metal like Venom,Sodom, Celtic Frost).
the unique signature of
the band is their extensive lyrical lore, which centers around dark fantasy,
cosmic horror
Beatrix
self-titled lead single. It serves as the first taste of their upcoming
full-length concept album with via Diabolic
Might Records
First preview of their
music The intro begins with heavy /thrash down tempo but quickly the single is
structured around ultra-fast black/thrash metal and great names back to my head
like Venom and Bewitched
opted for an organic,
raw, yet massive sound. Unlike overly polished and sophisticated modern
productions, the drums crack naturally (I don't think the use of the drum
trigger is excessive) and the guitars have a sharp, almost "dirty"
edge that perfectly captures the chaotic energy of their live performances, Markus "Suffy" Leppänen's
vocals are spectral and hateful, floating above a heavy bassline and we can say
this track is a success to link the cold violence and dark gloomy atmosphere
with raw aesthetic of first wave black metal to the technical complexity of
heavy metal
without forgetting the
artwork of the single whois very fit with the track It effectively represents
the group's visual identity
in any case this single
confirm that Beatrix is establishing
itself as a sure bet on the Finnish
underground scene and you'll be well served when the album comes out and will
be appreciated by old schooler beer drinker fans of Venom, Bewitched ,Mercyful Fate , Bathory and old era of dirty thrash.
