Hungary's WitcheR have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an old school form of atmospheric black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Öröklét" which will be released in November as a joint effort between Filosefem Records and Beveria Productions.
Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the drum beats are also programmed while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard when the music speeds up which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with most of the album sticking to a slower direction, female vocals can also be heard briefly and the closing track is a Frank Schubert cover as well as being all instrumental.
On this recording WitcheR goes for a very slow, atmospheric, epic and keyboard orientated style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Hungarian and cover Witchcraft and Folklore themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from WitcheR and if you are a fan of old school keyboard orientated black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Örökség" and "Öröklét". 8 out of 10.
