Irrseele are a solo project from Germany that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2023 album "Wahn & Wehmut".
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also has its atmospheric moments. At times the music also adds in some depressive touches along with some synths also being utilized briefly as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced on the album, whispers can also be heard on some of the tracks.
Irrseele plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric, raw and melancholic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover the mysteries of nature, the shadowy corners of the human mind and the abyssal depths of the soul.
In my opinion Irrseele are a very great sounding atmospheric solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Verderbnis" "Irrsinn" "Metamorphose" and "Melancholie". 8 out of 10.
