Windswept are a band from Ukraine that plays a very fast and raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Der eine, wahre König" which will be released in May by Primitive Reaction.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the riffing also has its repetitive moments.
Most of the music is also rooted in the classic Eastern European style while a couple of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction, clear vocals can also be heard briefly as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Windswept plays a style of black metal that is very fast, raw, aggressive and melodic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover nature themes.
In my opinion Windswept are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Verbrannte Brucken" and "Jedes Todes lehn". 8 out of 10.
Der eine, wahre König
