Ukraine's solo project Vyr Muk has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an aggressive, symphonic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "Chants Of The Tenebrous Depths" which also shows him collaborating with other musical arties from the underground black metal scene of his home country.
Neo-classical style soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark yet melodic style.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some tracks also adding in symphonic and atmospheric touches.
Each vocalist also brings in a different approach to the black/death metal vocals styles as well as a couples songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing, clear singing and spoken words, a later track also adds in a brief use of flutes. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover the war in Ukraine.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vyr Muk and if you are a fan of aggressive, atmospheric, symphonic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDE D TRACKS INCLUDE "Uncontrollable Rage" "When The Sun Went Out" and "Harvest Of Innocence". 8 out of 10.
