Vuur & Zijde are a band from the Netherlands that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an atmospheric form of post black metal with elements of shoegaze, post punk and wave and this is a review of their 2024 album "Boezem" which will be released in July by Prophecy Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album while also adding in elements of 80's era post punk and darkwave. Vocals are done in more of a clean style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and raw black metal tremolo picking and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic post metal style. Synths are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the riffs also bringing in a great amount of melody as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, the tracks also mix in a lot of shoegaze touches as well as one song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts.
On this recording Vuur & Zijde takes an atmospheric form of post black metal and mixes it with elements of shoegaze, post punk and wave as well as avoiding the use of harsh vocals to create something very original sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover conditional and unconditional love, the liberation of intimacy and motherhood.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vuur & Zijde and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal with elements of shoegaze, post punk and wave, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Onbemind" "Omheind" "Nest" and "Naakt". 8 out of 10.
