Narzissus are a solo project that play a very atmospheric and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his ep "Akt III: Erlösung" which will be released in 2024 as a joint effort between Fiadh Productions and Shape Of Storms Records.
Clean playing starts off the ep along with some keyboards, spoken word parts and female vocals a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while t he solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with the fast tremolo picking also giving the songs more of a raw feeling when they are utilized.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, Spanish guitars and folk instruments can also be heard briefly as well as the recording also adding in touches of progressive rock and indie pop. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover renewal and redemption themes.
In my opinion Narzissus are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and progressive black metal solos project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Erlösung" and "Im Glanze baden". 8 out of 10.
