Viamaer are a solo project from Poland that plays a mixture of post black metal and shoegaze and this is a review of his self released album "In lumine lunae" which will b e released in 2026.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Clear singing is also utilized at times along with the harsh vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music also adds in a lot of shoegaze touches.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the album more of a feeling. At times the music also goes into an atmospheric direction along with the recording also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as a couple of tracks also being instrumentals, one song also adds in a brief use of spoken words and the album is very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover emotional themes.
In my opinion Viamaer is a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of post black metal and shoegaze and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In excitatione terrae" "Dimensio mortis" and "Smnaragdus somnium". 8 out of 10.
