Melancholie are a solo project from the Netherlands that plays a very atmospheric form of ambient black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Winterkronieken" which will b e released in December by Naturmacht Productions.
Ambient style keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the recording also having its atmospheric moments and clear singing is also utilized at times.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the recording is very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre. When the music speeds up as great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling, growls can also be heard briefly and one track also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars, interludes are also added in between tracks.
Melancholie plays a musical style that takes ambient and atmospheric black metal and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover winter, personal struggles and the hairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson.
In my opinion Melancholie are a very great sounding atmospheric ambient black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "De treurwig" and "Winterkronieken". 8 out of 10.
