Belgium's Nyrak have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form of black metal with orchestral and cinematic textures and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "Faceless Tyrant".
Dark soundscapes start off the ep along with some orchestral and cinematic touches which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. A couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they are done in more of a melodic style and they also bring in a cover of Satyricon's "Mother North", clean playing is also added on a couple of songs and the closing track is an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dehumanization, control and the struggle against the invisible.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nyrak and if you are a fan of atmospheric and symphonic black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rise Of Dagon" and "Faceless Tyrant". 8 out of 10.
