PITCH BLACK also sounds surprisingly professional for an album self-recorded over a long period of time. The guitar tone is modern and thick as hell, and pinch harmonics sound rich and biting. Other than the band's tendency to defer to drop-out sections without riffs far too often, I see no glaring deficiencies in Rifftera's approach, and this is a good take on the style without the meandering melancholy and weightless masturbatory leads that dog the typical template. This band will serve as good fit in your discography between Disarmonia Mundi and the bands already mentioned. A reasonable debut and reason to stick around and see where these guys go next.
