Svar are a solo project from Poland that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic form of pagan black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "In The Land Called Night" which will be released on November 29th by Via Nocturna.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Svar goes for a very aggressive and melodic style of pagan black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Slavic Paganism, Philosophy and Nihilism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Svar and if you are a fan of melodic pagan black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Through lakes, Forests And Swamps" "Heart Of Stone" and "Lost In Carpathian Forest". 8 out of 10.
