Wigrid are a 1 man band from Germany that plays a very dark and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2005 album "Die Asche eines Levens" which was released by No Colours Records.
Drums range from slow to mid paced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while the bass playing sounds very strong, dark and powerful, as for the keyboards when they are utilized they bring a very dark, atmospheric and ambient feel to the music.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced depressive black metal riffing that also utilizes some dark sounding melodies in addition there is some slow soft playing being utilized at times while the lead guitars have a very distorted, melodic and depressive feel to them.
Vocals are all high pitched depressive black metal screams, while the lyrics are written in German and cover dark and depressive themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion this is a great album from Wigrid and if you are a fan of depressive black metal, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Erwachen" and "Tagtraum". RECOMMENDED BUY.
