Wynter Myst are a solo project from the United Kingdom that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Bitter Hymns" which was released by Death Prayer Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well a s the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and the music is heavily rooted in the old school era.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them, when synths are introduced into the music they also give the album more of an atmospheric feeling.
Wynter Myst plays a style of black metal that is very raw and atmospheric sounding. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover winter, depression, life and death themes.
In my opinion Wynter Myst are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Frostbitten Ophidian Veins" and "Under The Spell Of The Waxing Moon". 8 out of 10.
