Shadows and hidden for too long concealed and denied. It is only recently that the public and media attention have moved in favor of these territories, not without all the problems that have resulted. To strengthen this interest and to remind us to never have to forget what it was, even at the risk of upsetting those who prefer to disclose the contrary, we think these three guys Vabriga, which they call their band with the name of Their inquietantissimo. They send us a demo of the all-black cover with only the logo shown that dominates in the graphic, minimal and, perhaps for this reason, to great effect. Alas, this being their first demo, this Shadows over Histria contains only 4 tracks, which start with the furious The Last Ritual. Norwegian black metal mold, where there is now a group that does not love frills here and little attention is paid to the substance to form. Fast riffs that create melodies diverted, voice shrill and powerful, who finds peace in a scream deadlift reminiscent of thrash metal, and you immediately notice the right attitude to create interesting pieces that have a lot to Darkthrone. I really appreciate the purely instrumental interludes, ever falling and never dull, with a voice that knows her place and enter into the picture when its time. Excellent demonstration of old school black metal. Then there is Engraved, the second track, waiting for us, which opens with 4 shots of battery before emptying into the buzz of the guitars. Piece slightly slower than the first, but not for this less load intensity and dark presences. The vocals particularly shine here and we are to witness desperate screams of dubious provenance, while behind the leather is hammered relentlessly. A sudden change of riffing make this Engraved less trivial than one might initially think: a real treat! At number 3, the title track Shadows over Histria part immediately in a very unsettling. A wicked riffs and diverted tells us of the dark presence occupying the region, and high-speed transport us in these mountainous regions, where every nook and cranny evil is lurking, and there Their talk in a masterly way, as modern storytellers of the dark occult. Nothing is ever trivial and everything finds its actually very clear. Even the sound output is of good quality and this makes us appreciate good sound sharp. We come to the end with Angels Falling Down, more dirty and raw piece of the background, but perhaps for this very special and more carnal. This is what we propose a mixing slightly lower than the other: you can hear changes in volume and a guitar is not exactly clear, tortured, threatened by a battery and also a bit muffled, but it does not matter, those who love this kind of music fully appreciates these particularity, and then they are welcome. At the center of the track you can hear a doorbell on the plates, but not bad weird, which precedes a solo intense and sharp, although declining in some places. Then the blows of the rain hides behind the incessant shooting, and bring us to the heart of the piece, where we find the negative of Their creepy vocals. An interesting job then, well structured and that, without any compromise, takes us on a wicked nature, opening reality too many times ignored. Unfortunately, we are faced with only 4 pieces, but it is enough to test the aptitude of our, the demo is small and you listen to him in a short time, but I look forward to further work in the study of this training. Definitely recommended for those who love the old school black metal and the typical sounds of the masters Norwegian: a young band still immature in some respects, but certainly with clear ideas, which has already demonstrated the ability to put into practice. The shadows of Istria were never so black ... Vote 8/10 Anthony
