Vakaren are an international band with members from Sweden t hat plays a very atmospheric, depressive and raw form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Infernum" which will be released in October.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album while also introducing keyboards onto the recording before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams and clear singing can also b e heard at times.
The music also has its atmospheric moments while blat beats can also be heard briefly when the music finally speeds up. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a great amount of raw aggression as well as the vocals also going into a more deep yet grim direction on some tracks and most of the recording also sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. fast tremolo picking can also be heard on the closing track.
Vakearen plays a style of black metal t hat is very atmospheric, depressive, raw and mid tempo sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism and Suicide themes.
In my opinion Vakaren are a very great sounding atmospheric, depressive and raw black metal and and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Of What Horrors Await us All" "Apollyon Ascendant" "Spectres Of The Astral Plane" and "NecroHell". 8 out of 10.
