Hungary's WitcheR have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school style of atmospheric black emtal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Lelekharang" which was released by Filosofem Records.
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The riffs also add in a lot of melody while the music also has its atmospheric moments along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the songs also add in a great amount of 90's influences.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. Female vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with all of the drum beats also being programmed as well as most of the music sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, clean playing can also be heard briefly and the album closes with a cove r of Ludwig Von Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonota".
On this recording WitcheR goes for more of an atmospheric and epic style of black metal that is very heavily keyboard orientated and rooted in the 90's era. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics are written in Hungarian and cover Folklore and Witchcraft themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from WitcheR and if you are a f an of old school, epic and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hamvak" and "Csendesen". 8 out of 10.
