Moon Of The Wind are a solo project from Ukraine that plays an atmospheric mixture of depressive black metal and dark ambient and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Soul Through The Broken Paths".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams mixed in with a few angry shouts while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while spoken words can also be heard on a few songs. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks along with the synths also bringing i n elements of dark ambient when they are utilized and some of the songs are also instrumentals, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and clear singing as well as some whispers can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover self reflection and depression themes.
In my opinion Moon Of The Wind are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of depressive black metal and dark ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Howling Sleep In Meaningless" "To Fevered Mind - Warmth That Will Come True" and "Freezing Weather In the Fall". 8 out of 10.
