Sarvekas are a duo from Finland that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and epic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Woven Dark Paths" which will be released in May by Soulseller Records.
A very dark sounding intro 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 b eats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also ads in a great amount of 90's influences but keeping it modern at the same time. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and a small amount of acoustic guitars can also be heard on the closing track.
On this recording Sarvekas plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, sinister, melodic and epic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Heathenry, Scandinavian Mythology and A Devotion To The Dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sarvekas and if you are a fan of epic and melodic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Scryer Of Bones" "Woven Dark Paths" and "The Great Winter". 8 out of 10.
