Winterstorm are an international band with members from Chile and Ecuador that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Vinterstormener" which will be released in December by Signal Rex.
A dungeon synth orientated intro starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal s creams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era.
At times the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A small amount of dark sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with one song also adding in a brief use of deep yet demonic sounding growls an d the album also closes with a synth orientated outro.
On this re cording Winterstorm goes for more of a raw, lo-fi and occult style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism. Darkness and Winter themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Winterstorm and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Through The Astral Mist" and "A Distant Wind Horizon". 8 out of 10.
