Xarkrinur are a 1 man band from Bangladesh that plays a mixture of depressive black metal and dark ambient and this is a review of his 2014 single "Cold Forest" which will be part of an upcoming ep split with Happiness Through Suicide which will be released by Acephale Winter later on this year.
A slow, dark and heavy sound starts off the ep and brings in a very raw and distorted approach to black metal along with some grim screams and the music also starts to speed up a bit along with some programmed blast beats while also keeping the slow and mid paced parts around and you can also hear some ambient style noises in the background which gives the music a more lo-fi feeling and after awhile the vocals start having a more deeper tone to them.
On this song Xarkrinur takes a very raw and depressive style of black metal and mixes in small amounts of ambient while keeping the music very dark and grim and I would like to hear more music from t his project in the future, the production sounds very raw while the lyrics cover suicidal themes.
In my opinion Xarkrinur are a very decent sounding mixture of raw, depressive black metal and dark ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this project.
