Winter Eternal are a solo project originally from Greece but now resides in Scotland that h as been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Echoes of primordial Gnosis" which will be released in June by Hells Headbangers Records.
A very fast, raw and melodic 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 music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era and mixes in influences from both the Hellenic and Swedish styles of the genre.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while spoken word parts are also utilized briefly. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with a couple of songs also introducing clear vocals and clean playing onto the album as well as few tracks also adding in a brief use of cello's and acoustic guitars and one of the tracks is also an instrumental.
On this recording Winter Eternal remains true to the melodic and old school style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mythological gods, legends and historical heroes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Winter Eternal and if you are a f an of melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Echoes Of Primordial Gnosis" "The Serpent's Curse" and "The Keeper Of Sorrows". 8 out of 10.
