Russia's Old Wainds have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw and old school style of pagan black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Stormheart" which will be released in November by Darkness Shall Rise.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while death metal growls are also utilized briefly. When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the old school tradition.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet aggressive style along with one song also adding in a brief use of clean playing and the album also mixes in some more modern touches. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Dark Heathenism, Nature, Winter and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Old Wainds and if you are a fan of raw and old school pagan black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Watch The Midnight Unveil" "In The Heart Of The Storm" and "Snow Swarm". 8 out of 10.
