BOHEMYST – čerň a smrt – SLIPCASE CD

Black Metal, Death Metal – Petrichor

Bohemyst is a “blackened metal” quintet from Czechia, arising from the ashes of long-time death/black veterans Avenger, who retired the moniker in 2017. Featuring former members of the quietly monumental Master’s Hammer (drummer Honza Kapák and guitarist Petr Rámus Mecák), Bohemyst attempts to reflect the themes of the notorious Black Plague and Czech heritage, citing influences that range from its members’ storied history to those of Marduk and Morbid Angel. Debut Čerň A Smrt2 finds the Czechs embracing a riffy interpretation of the blackened arts that tosses in flavors of death and doom to create a honed balance of dark atmospherics and kickass highlights.
