Wintaar are a band from Russia that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Tear You Down" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath Records, Valgriind and Svanrenne Music.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing, at times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding and a couple of songs also introduces clean playing onto the recording.
On this recording Wintaar plays a style of black emtal that is very atmospheric, aggressive and guitar driven. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover death worship and personal themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wintaar and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Time Devours Light" "The Circle" and "Buried in My Own Sorrow". 8 out of 10.
