Balzac - Blackened 2017

Review by Ritesh Thounaojam

Blackened 2017, the latest album by Japanese horror punk band Balzac, is a thrilling and intense experience for fans of the genre. The album features 10 tracks that showcase the band's signature sound of fast-paced, energetic punk with horror-inspired lyrics.

The album opens with "Night of the Blood Beast," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its heavy guitar riffs and driving beat. Other standout tracks include "Long Way," which features a catchy chorus and a memorable guitar solo, and "Sorrow," a slower, more melodic track that still manages to maintain the album's overall intensity.

One of the strengths of Blackened 2017 is its production quality. The album sounds polished and professional, with each instrument and vocal part clearly defined and balanced. This allows the listener to fully appreciate the band's musicianship and the intricacies of each song.
