Nocturnal Reveries are a solo project from Finland that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2026 album "Song Of The Forest" which will be released in may by Naturmacht Productions.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the recording also adds in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feleing.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. A lot of the music is also very heavily influenced by the old school era of the genre along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
growls and clean playing can also be heard at times and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. as well as a couple of tracks also being very long and epic in length and one track also adds in a brief use of spoken words, acoustic guitars can also be heard on a couple of songs. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the mysterious force residing in nature.
In my opinion Nocturnal Reveries are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gates To The Nocturnal Realm" and "Intuition's Quest". 8 out of 10.
