Heimdalls Wacht are a band from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a neo-romantic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Mystagogie - Lieder voll Ewigkeit" which will be released in December by Trollzorn.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly angry yet high pitched sounding black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Clear singing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with a few tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts.
Clean playing, acoustic guitars and nature orientated soundscapes are also utilized on a few songs along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced onto the album and a later song also adds in some angry shouts and synths. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and German and cover Paganism, Occultism, Cross-Culture Spirituality, Germanic Romanticism, Nature, Philosophy and Nihilism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heimdalls Wacht and if you are a fan of German black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "On The Path Of The Ancient" "Shadowlord" and "Jeder Abschied atmet den Tod". 8/5 out of 10.
