This is another review of a recording from Russia's solo project Wintaar which showed the music going for more of an atmospheric, melodic, old school and raw form of black metal and the album was released in 2018 and called "Songs of White Wilderness". which was released by Death Prayer Records.
Drum b eats start off the album along with some heavy yet melodic riffing a few seconds later while most of the tracks a re also very long and epic in length. The solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody as well as the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and growls can also be heard briefly.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard on some of the tracks 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. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the music also adding in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences as well as one of the songs also introducing winter orientated soundscapes onto the album. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover winter and nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Wintaar and if you are a fan og atmospheric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kingdom of The Ice Ridge" White Wilderness" and "Wounds Of Thre Sun". 8 out of 10.
