Mek Na Ver are a band from Italy that plays a very atmospheric and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Noctivaga" which will be released in February as a joint effort between Masked Dead Records and Sulphur Music.
Atmospheric sounding synths and keyboards start off the album and also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era of the genre.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. At times the album also gets very symphonic sounding along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Spoken words are added on a couple of tracks and both clear female and male vocals can also be heard briefly as well as a few songs also being very long and epic in length.. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Italian and English and cover esoteric folklore.
In my opinion Mek Na Ver are a very great sounding atmospheric and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Strik-Elegia-Lunae" and "Sabbat-Vespera-Ultima". 8 out of 10.
