Svart Vinter are a band from Italy that plays a very atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Isvind" which will be released in May by Non Serviam Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric moments.
Some of the tracks also add in a small amount of clean playing and one song also adds in a brief use of spoken words, the tracks also mix in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature, isolation and existential struggle.
In my opinion Svart Vinter are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Torment" "Ritual" "Where The Shadows Lie" and "Beneath the Night's Cold Glaze". 8 out of 10.
