Barbatos

Barbatos is a prolific solo project hailing from Japan, born from the twisted mind of Yasuyuki Suzuki, a celebrated figure in the extreme metal scene. Suzuki, who is also known for his work with bands such as Abigail and Cut Throat, started Barbatos with the intent to create a raw and unadulterated form of blackened thrash metal, infused with a strong punk attitude and an unapologetically rebellious spirit. The project's music is characterized by its gritty production, relentless riffs, and an overall sense of chaos that draws from the dark underbelly of heavy metal and punk rock culture.

Since its inception, Barbatos has unleashed a steady stream of raucous anthems, enticing fans of underground metal with a visceral, no-holds-barred auditory assault. The project's most recent work includes "Temps Sombre," an offering that continues the tradition of combining sinister black metal elements with a thrashy, punk vigor, and "Satanic Rebirth," which serves as a testament to the project's unyielding dedication to the darker realms of metal. Earlier works like "Dark Art from the Twilight Kingdom" and "Straight Metal War" exhibit the same feral energy, while "Fury and Fear, Flesh and Bone" delivers a barrage of aggressive musicality, indifferent to mainstream inclinations and instead catering to those seeking a pure and potent dose of blackened metal punk chaos. Barbatos stands as a beacon for enthusiasts of extreme soundscapes, reinforcing the convergence of metal's most abrasive subgenres with a relentless fervor.
