ZATOKREV picture
Zatokrev is a Doom/Death Metal band that formed in Basel, Switzerland in 2002 and have been active since then. Their lyrics are in Czech, Slovak and English Language, since Frederyk Rotter, who does vocals/guitar, is Czech-born. The band name can be translated as "Blood For This".

The bands first recordings were recorded in their own rehearsal studio and had originally been only intended for demo purposes. Due to great interest it was released as their eponymous debut album in 2004 on Codebreaker, Earache and Division Records.

Although they have a sludge background the band aren't afraid to experiment and don’t allow themselves to be restrained by a particular genre and incorporate doom, death and black metal as well as psychedelic rock.

2014 saw the recording of their fourth album ‘Silk Spiders Underwater…’ at the infamous Rec Studio in Geneva with Serge Morattel and finally mixing and mastering by Raphaël Bovey (like the

Zatokrev are an experimental doom metal band who formed in Switzerland in 2002. Silk Spiders Underwater…. was released in May 2015 and is their fourth album and the first of two concept albums.

The eight tracks are on experimental side of doom metal and their sludge background shows through on some of the album. No doubt down to their experimental nature, the band is not content to be restrained by any genre and incorporate some death metal elements too. The music is dark and powerful with harsh vocals most of the time and not an easy listen by any stretch. Brick In The Sky stands out as somewhat different from most of the rest of the album for its clean vocals and trippy psych vibe. Discoloration follows suit with the cleaner vocals but much heavier and one of the more accessible and better cuts.

Whilst I warmed to the album, subtle melodies appear and amid the harshness there are occasional surprises like the female vocals that close They Stay In Mirrors. It’s worth persevering with as an initial impression of the album blending in as one revealed itself to have more subtle depths and hooks than I originally gave it credit for.

Not for the faint hearted then but if you like your doom/sludge on the experimental side then Silk Spiders Underwater… is worth a listen.
