Veenlijk are a band from the Netherlands that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an atmospheric form of black metal with elements of thrash, speed emtal, punk and post hardcore and this is a review of their 2026 album "Waar Alle Hoop Verzuipt" which will be released in December b y Void Wanderer Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the recording also has its atmospheric moments.
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. Melodies are also added into some of t he guitar riffing while the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in elements of thrash and speed metal at times.
Some of the tracks capture the raw energy of punk and the melodic style of post hardcore, spoken words are also introduced on a later track along with some of the solos and leads also adding in more of a chaotic approach as the album progresses. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover folk tales and the struggles of life and death.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Veenlijk and if you are a fan of raw and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Zielendood" "Vuurman" and "Nachtwaker". 8 out of 10.
