Vampyriia are a solo project from Italy that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal with elements of dark ambient and drone and this is a review of their 2025 ep "The Melancholic Charm Of The Moon" which will be released in April by Void Wanderer Productions.
Dark ambient style synths and drones start off the ep while also mixing in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast b eats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the recording also gas its atmospheric moments. Clean playing is also utilized at times along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, whispered vocals can also be heard briefly.
Vampyriia takes a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and mixes it with dark ambient and drone to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover misanthropy, negativity and darkness themes.
In my opinion Vampyriia are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal solo project with elements of dark ambient and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ghost Of Moon And Cosmic Nebula" and "The Infinite Melancholic Sadness". 8 out of 10.
