Merculistarya are a solo project from Hungary that plays a very melodic, atmospheric and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében" which will be released in February as a joint effort between Pest and Metal or Die Records.
Clean playing, sound effects and symphonic keyboards start off the album which also mixes in the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and clear singing is also utilized at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Spoken words and whispers can also be heard briefly, growls are also added into certain sections of the album and blast beats are added into t he faster sections of the songs.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tremolo picking in the faster sections of the songs also giving the music more of a raw feeling as well as the recordings also having its atmospheric moments, a couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Hungarian and cover introspective themes.
In my opinion Merculisttarya is a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Merengő" "Rémálomköd " and "Sóhaj". 8 out of 10.
