This is a review of an earlier release from Russia's solo project Wintaar which showed the music going for more of an atmospheric style of black metal and the album was originally released in 2018 and called "Nightchants".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts 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 solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
A couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. 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 as well as all of the musical instruments on the album also having a very powerful sound to them, one track also adds in a brief use of nature orientated soundscapes and synths.
On this recording Wintaar played a style of black metal that was very atmospheric, melodic and raw sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Winter and Nature themes.
In my opinion this was a very great sounding recording from Wintaar and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "With Night Comes Evil" and "Wintraw". 8 out of 10.
