Burning Bethlehem/The Unholy Path To Hell/Torn Flesh Records Net Label/2012 Digital Album Review


  Burning  Bethlehem  are  a  band  from  Minnesota  that  plays  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  form  of  satanic  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  digital  album  "The  Unholy  Path  To  Hell"  which  was  released  by  Torn  Flesh  Records  Net  Label.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  dark  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  raw  and  primitive  sounding  with  a  great  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  which  are  only  used  briefly  are  very  melodic  sounding  black  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  with  some  spoken  word  parts  being  utilized  on  the  last  song,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism,  Left  Hand  Path,  Darkness,  and  Occult  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Burning  Bethlehem  are  a  very  great  sounding  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  satanic  black  metal band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Unholy Path  To  Hell"  "Into  The  Satanic  Void"  and  "Unholy  Rites".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
