Nettlelorth are a solo project from Poland that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Nocte Ignota" which will be released as a joint effort between Opus Elafantum and Witchcult Records.
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 songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with one song also introducing spoken word parts onto the recording.
Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and there are also a couple of instrumentals the first one being in the ambient direction and the other taking more of a doom/drone metal approach. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, nature and witchcraft themes.
In my opinion Nettlelorth 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 album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ravens" "Oak of The Witches" and "Bloom". 8 out of 10.
