Bloodbark are a band from an unknown area that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Sacred Sound Of Solitude" which was released by Northern Silence Productions.
Raw tremolo picking starts off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while clean playing is added on some of the tracks. Clear vocals are also added into certain sections of the time along with some spoken word parts also being added on a couple of tracks and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as one track also adding in a brief use of whispered vocals, one song is also an ambient orientated instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mature, winter, spirits and elemental battles.
In my opinion Bloodbark are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Time Is Nothing" and "Griever's Domain". 8 out of 10.
