Uvikra are a 1 man band from Lithuania that has been featured before in this zine with the musical style on this recording being progressive black/death metal and this is a review of their self released 2012 album "Bi".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they h ave a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine the darkest elements of black, death and progressive metal together to create a sound of their own with some raw and primitive style riffing being utilized at times as well as some clean playing and guitar slides, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very raw and primitive sounding black/death metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are mostly deep black/death metal growls along with a brief use of out of key clean singing being utilized on a couple of songs, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Uvikra as well as continuing the tradition on creating a different sound with each release and if you are a f an of this band, you should c heck out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Weak Hands" and "Leads In Letters". RECOMMENDED BUY.
