West Virginia's Nechochwen have returned with a new recording which shows them moving away from the black metal style of previous releases and goes into more of a dark folk direction and this is a review of their 2025 album "Spelewithiipi" which will be released in May by Nordvis Produktion.
Acoustic guitars which also add in a mixture of finger picking and full chords start off the album along with some wind sounds a few seconds later. Native American style folk instruments can also be heard at times while the songs also add in a good amount of percussion and a lot of the tracks are instrumentals.
At times the music also captures a very shamanistic and tribal atmosphere while each song also sounds very different from each other along with one track also introducing slide guitars onto the album, wind instruments can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Nechochwen moves away from the black metal elements and harsh vocals of previous releases and goes into more of an instrumental dark folk direction while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nechochwen and if you are a fan of dark folk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "spelewithiipi" "mthothwathiipi" and "Primordial Passage". 8 out of 10.
