Russia's Grima have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Nightside" which will be released on February 28th by Napalm Records.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some folk instruments a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along while synths can also be heard at times and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few death metal growls.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing and folk instruments also return in certain sections of the album as well as some clear singing and acoustic guitars also being introduced on later tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Paganism and Nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Grima and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beyond The Dark Horizon" "Impending Death Premonition" and "Mist And Fog". 8 out of 10.
