     Varzoroth  are  a  solo  project  from  Germany  that  plays a very raw
     and  misanthropic  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of
     his 2019 demo.

     Dark  riffing  starts  off  the  demo  while  the  vocals  are  mostly
     grim  yet  high  pitched  black  metal  screams. When the music speeds
     up a   great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and blast beats can be
     heard which  also  gives  the  songs more of a raw feeling along
     with the tracks also adding in a decent amount of 90's influences.

     Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  decent  mixture of
     slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  Most  of  the  riffing  is  also
     done  mostly  on  power  chords  and  also  avoids  the  use  of any
     guitar  solos  and  leads  along  with some atmospheric sounding synths
     also being added on the closing track.

     Varzoroth plays a style of black metal that is very raw and misanthropic
     sounding in the 90's tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw
     while the lyrics cover misanthropy, nihilism, darkness and death themes.
