Vinterstov are a band from Russia that plays a very atmospheric and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2026 album "Where Light Drowns".
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking are also utilized which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some acoustic guitars and clean playing also being used on a couple of tracks. melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing
Vinterstov plays a style of black metal that is very modern, melodic, atmospheric and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover isolation and introspective themes.
In my opinion Vinterstov are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Where Light Drowns" "Ancestors Of Ancient Cults" and "My Final Scream". 8 out of 10.
