Brzask are a band from Poland that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw, old school and atmospheric form of pagan black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Der Wanderer in Reisgengebirge" which will be released in May by Vendetta Records.
Synths start off the album along with some clean playing and spoken words a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style 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 the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling and a lot of the music is heavily influenced by the mid 90's era.
Growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the music also having its atmospheric moments All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, angry shouts can also be heard at times and acoustic guitars are also utilized briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the folklore and mythology of Poland.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Brzask and if you are a fan of raw, old school and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Frozen Horizon" and "A Tale Of Sand And Fire". 8 out of 10.
