Неясыть are a band from Russia that plays a pagan form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Круг Безвременья".
Nature sounds start off the album along with some shamanistic style beats and folk instruments a few seconds later while spoken word parts can also b e heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the drum beats also being programmed.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the folk and ritualistic elements also mix in with the heavier sections of the music at times.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly along with a couple of tracks also being long and epic in length as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of percussion, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and whispered vocals can also be heard in some parts of the recording and as the album progresses a small amount of melody is also added into some of the guitar riffing. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written i Russian and cover Slavonic Paganism, Folklore and Nature themes.
In my opinion Неясыть are a very great sounding pagan black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Круг Безвременья" "Через Трясину" "Чёрное Чрево Времени" and "Гноевище ". 8 out of 10.
