Seer's Fire are a solo project from the Netherlands that plays a very epic, atmospheric and lo-fi form of black metal and this is a review of his 2017 album "Whispers In The Fire" which was re-issued in 2020 by His Wounds.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the recording also capturing a very lo-fi atmosphere.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks and one song is also an instrumental.
Seer's Fire plays a style of black metal that is very epic, atmospheric and lo-fi sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Fantasy themes.
In my opinion Seer's Fire are a very great sounding epic, atmospheric and lo-fi black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Windswept Cold, Winter's Grasp" "Misty Shores Where Ice Rests" and "Mighty Walls Amongst Forlorn Fields". 8 out of 10.
