Aerdryk are a solo project from Belgium that plays a very raw and epic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Met Drietand Op Mijn Huid" which will b e released in August by Amor Fati Productions.
A very dark y et heavy sound starts off the album while epic sounding synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams and clear singing can also be heard at times.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric moments. A great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard during the faster sections of the songs which also gives the album more of a raw feeling.
The songs also add in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as all of the musical instruments on the album also having a very powerful sound to them, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Flemish and cover Flemish Folklore themes.
In my opinion Aerdryk are a very great sounding raw and epic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mijn Boetedoening" "Met Drietand Op Mijn Huid" and "Doodgeboren". 8 out of 10.
