Elderwind are a band from Russia that plays an atmospheric form of ambient black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Fires".
Ambient style synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the music also has its atmospheric moments along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses a brief use of clear vocals and acoustic guitars can also be heard.
Elderwind plays a style of black metal that is very epic and atmospheric sounding as well a s adding in elements of dark ambient to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover tragic loss and impending doom.
In my opinion Elderwind are a very great sounding atmospheric ambient black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Last Days" and "Rebirth". 8 out of 10.
