Wardra are a band from Russia that plays an atmospheric mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Warden Of The Steller Crypts" which will be released in April as a joint effort between Satanath Records and Onism Productions.
A very fast and raw black metal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are done in more of a growling style while screams can also be heard at times as well as the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and the music also has its atmospheric moments.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom metal. along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, clear vocals can also be heard briefly and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Wardra plays a musical style that takes atmospheric black metal and mixes it with doom metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness themes.
In my opinion Wardra are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The one Who Saw" "Steller Crypt" and "Silent Witness". 8 out of 10.
