Wraithfinder are a musical project from Nashville, Tennessee that plays blackgaze and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2022 album.
Acoustic guitars 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 beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also adds in a great amount of shoegaze elements and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths and keyboards can also be heard on some of the tracks along with the songs also adding in a decent amount of clean sections as well as the instrumental also adding in a brief use of pedal steel guitars, clear vocals can also be heard briefly and some of the heavier riffing also shows an influence of death metal.
Wraithfinder plays a style of blackgaze that is very diverse and lo-fi sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover modern day grief in the 21st century.
In my opinion Wraithfinder are a very great sounding blackgaze project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Safe" "Wannabe" and "Ships". 8 out of 10.
