Picture Credit: Brzask Artwork: Andrzej Jagielski Brzask - Brzask Release: May 31, 2020 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 16:21 Genre: Blackened Death Metal Origin: Szklarska Poręba , Poland Brzask are a five-piece Blackened Death Metal band from Szklarska Poręba in Lower Silesia. Brzask is Polish and means "Dawn", as far as I can tell. The quintet has recently hit the European Black and Death Metal world with their selftitled demo - a digital release containg three songs and an opulent intro. The demo is defined by rough sound, freezing Black Metal leads and a massivively grooving Death Metal backbone. Despite not being too melodic, Brzask follow the roots of bands such as Dissection, Bathory and Emperor. While the first two tracks set a clear focus on rough and intense Blackened Death Metal, the final song has a certain impact by Northern Folk Metal or at least Melodic Death Metal.
