Wolmir are a solo project from Italy that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw and old form of black metal with elements of death metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Crave For Blood" which was released by Extreme Chaos.
A very distorted sound starts off the album along with some synths a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Bass guitars are also utilized as the main instrument on the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also mixes in with heaviness of death metal along with one tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing as well as the fast riffs also adding in some tremolo picking and some of the synths also add in touches of dungeon synth, ritualistic chants are also introduced on a later song.
On this recording Wolmir plays a style of black metal that is very raw sounding with the bass guitar taking the place of a regular guitars as well as adding in some elements of death metal and dungeon synth to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wolmir and if you are a fan of raw and cold black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Live Through Pain" "Crave Blood" and "Last Oath". 8 out of 10.
