Orcrist

An Italian True Black Metal project created and carried on by Grav, a drummer who recruits underground session musicians. The project is characterized in reviews by a deliberate lo-fi, purist approach to Black Metal.

Review sources state Grav promotes a stylistically pure, "true" Black Metal aesthetic and that the lyrics for We Come in War were written by Goblin (leader of Isvind).

The available review criticizes Orcrist's purist True Black Metal stance and lo-fi execution. The project is led by Grav, a drummer who hires session musicians. The 2009 album We Come in War is judged as flawed but contains a notably strong closing track. Recommended mainly for dedicated True Black Metal fetishists.

For:Fans of orthodox/true black metal, collectors of underground lo-fi black metal, readers of critical metal reviews
