Draugveil are a solo project from Czechia that plays a romantic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Cruel World Of Dreams And Fears" which will be released by Artchestra.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the recording speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling and w hen gutiar solos and leads are utilized they are d one in a very melodic style .
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the synths and pianos also add in elements of dungeon synth when they are utilized. A lot of the music is also very heavily influenced by the 90's era along with the recording also having its lo-fi moments.
A couple of the tracks are also instrumentals which also captures a medieval atmosphere at times as well as a few songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing. The production sounds very dark, raw and old school while the lyrics cover solitude, depression, love and death themes.
In my opinion Draugveil are a very great sounding romantic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Knight Without A Name" "Wolves Feast on Forgotten Dreams" and "Vortex". 8 out of 10.
