Rahvira are a duo from Armenia that plays an epic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Ghosts Of Darkness" which was released in 2025 as a joint effort between Holy Mountains Music and Wine And Fog Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are a mixture of growls and high pitched black metal screams which also get very high pitched at times while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to t hem.
Choirs can also be heard briefly while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and some of the tracks are long and epic in length. 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.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some touches of folk music also being utilized at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Armenian History and Aryanism themes.
In my opinion Rahvira are a very great sounding epic black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "It's Spring" "Awareness" "The Avenger" and "Only Forward". 8 out of 10.
