Drohtnung are a solo project from Australia that plays a very atmospheric and depressive form of black metal with elements of noise and this is a review of their 2022 album "Black Void Ov Heaven" which was released by Esfinge de la Calavera.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while noises can also b e heard at times. Vocals are mostly high pitched yet depressive black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can also be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the recording also having its atmospheric moments as well as some synths also being utilized at times.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with one song also being an instrumental. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style of clean playing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover isolation, solitude, nature, sorrow and melancholy themes.
In my opinion Drohtnung is a very great sounding mixture of atmospheric, depressive black metal and noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Void Ov Heaven" and "The Black Aurora". 8 out of 10.
