Uvod are a duo from Russia that has been featured before in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Plamenem proshlogo" which was released by Atra Anduin Records.
A very dark y et heavy sound starts off the album while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some of the tracks also being long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. The music also has its atmospheric moments along with a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars and spoken word parts can also b e heard briefly
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as one song also adding in a brief use of clean singing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are finally utilized. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Russian and cover nature and sorrow themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Uvod and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sorrowful Spirit" and "Skald". 8 out of 10.
