Oerheks are a solo project from Belgium that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for more of an atmospheric and old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 ep "Landschapsanachronismen" which will be released in February by Amor Fati Productions.
A very dark, heavy and atmospheric sound starts off the ep along with some melodic guitar solos and leads. Both of the tracks are also very long and pic in length while the vocals are mostly tortured sounding black metal screams that are mixed down very low in the mix and synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly while the music also adds in a great amount of 90's era influences. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some spoken word parts being used briefly and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can b e heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with some acoustic guitars also being utilized briefly on both tracks and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Belgian and cover Paganism, Darkness and Melancholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Oerheks and if you are a f an of epic, atmospheric and old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Een Eenzaat in het Landschap". 8 out of 10.
