Germany's solo project Nebelfaust has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an old school and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2026 album "Die Krähenfüße des Winters" which will be released on January 30th.
High pitched black metal screams along with some chants start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing and clear singing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized.
On this recording Nebelfaust takes his old school style of black metal into more of a melodic direction without losing the aggression of previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover cold and melancholic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Nevelfaust and if you are a fan of melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Den aufgerissenen Himmel im Mund" "Vom Frost gebissen" and "Der weite weiße Schnee". 8 out of 10.
