When it comes to the mix of black metal and death metal, no band is more punishing and unforgiving. While I personally see them more black metal-leaning when taking into account of their general discography, their unique mix of black and death metal is a lot more extreme than your typical blackened death metal band, but also not extreme enough to be in the war metal realms. with just enough downtime to make it interesting instead of a nonstop explosion, just enough atmospheric effects to spice it up without taking attention away from the aggression, and just enough much needed rhythmic sections between the extreme metal pummelmania to solidify these songs into, well songs, instead of a series of indistinguishable and fast riffs. The diverse vocal styles also help make this song more exciting. Constantly shifting between death metal growls and black metal shrieks is almost always a great touch and let’s you know: yes this band is crazy. Don’t fuck with Windswept; they will not only torture you in the name of satan but probably devour your mangled carcass afterwards.
