Vyrk Muk are a solo project from Ukraine that plays an aggressive mixture of black and death metal with elements of ambient and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "Crimson Fields Of Sorrow".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. When synths are utilzied they also bring in symphonic and ambient elements which are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
The music also mixes in modern and old school touches while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Influences of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with all of the musical instruments on the album also having a very powerful sound to them, growls are also used at times and one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing as well as the closing song being an instrumental. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover greed, voracity, inhumane conditions on the frontline, how rotten modern society is, and sorrow for the dead/killed.
In my opinion Vyrk Muk are a very great sounding aggressive mixture of black and death metal with elements of ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Voracity" and "Bitterness of Loss'. 8 out of 10.
