Slocakia's Ramchat has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric mixture of pagan black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Meluzina" which was released by HladoHlas Records.
Nature orientated soundscapes start off the ep before going into a heavier direction while also mixing in some atmospheric sounding synths. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals bring in more of a death metal approach and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Black metal screams and clear pagan singing are also used at times while blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs. Clean playing can also be heard briefly along with the female vocals also capturing a more ethereal atmosphere and when tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the recording more of a raw feeling.
On this recording Ramchat brings out a very atmospheric form of pagan black metal as well as mixing in a touch of death metal to create their own style. The production so0unds very raw and heavy while the lyrics pay homage to the Slavic Wind Goddess.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ranchat and if you are a fan of atmospheric pagan black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Meluzina". 8 out of 10.
