Waldseel are a solo project from Germany that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Von Morast und Eisen" which was released as a joint effort between Narbentage Produktion and Schatternpfade Support Circle.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while growls can also be heard at times while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clear vocals added on a couple of the tracks along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as some nature sounds and clean playing also being used briefly, the album also mixes in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre and there are also a couple of instrumentals.
Waldseel plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover nature, hated, madness, occultism and nightmares.
In my opinion Waldseel are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Von Morast und Eisen" "Sichel" and "Mordstein". 8 out of 10.
