I Proélefsi are a solo project that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays an instrumental form of atmospheric black metal and this is a review of his 2026 album "Ypógeio Vasíleio" which will be released in July by Depressive Illusions Records.
Atmospheric soundscapes start off the album before introducing melodic guitar riffing onto the recording while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. 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.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of ambient and synths are also utilized at times along with some orchestration and programming and all of the tracks avoid the use of any vocals mixed in with some avant garde touches and spoken words are also added towards the end.
On this recording I Proélefsi focuses more on an instrumental and atmospheric form of ambient black metal as well as keeping everything instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the song themes focus on alchemy.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from I Proélefsi and if you are a fan of instrumental and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Boatman" and "Tartarus". 8 out of 10.
