Unted Kingdom's Winterfylleth have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "The Unyielding Season" which was released by Napalm Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
When keyboards are utilized they also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of cellos, some songs also add in clean playing and acoustic guitars.
The music also mixes influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre along with the album moving away from the folk elements which where present on earlier releases. One track is also an instrumental and the recording closes with a cover of paradise Lost's "Enchantment" which also adds in a brief use of clear singing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the poetry of Sir Phillip Sidney and Ancient British History.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Winterfylleth and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Echoes In The After' "The Unyielding Season" "In Ahen Wake" and "Enchantment". 8 out of 10.
