WINTERUS
- In Carbon Mysticism
Lifeforce Records
WINTERUS, a U.S.-based band, makes their debut with “In
Carbon Mysticism” on Lifeforce Records, offering a traditional black metal
sound reminiscent of Dissection. The album features cold, incisive riffs that
are designed to evoke a chilling atmosphere, contributing to a sense of
bleakness and intensity. The melodies consistently maintain engagement through
their distinct and authentic character, providing a compelling foundation for
the tracks. Keyboards are utilized atmospherically, supporting the melodic
structures without overshadowing them, while the vocals are consistently raw
and pure black metal, devoid of any female contributions.
A notable area for improvement lies in the album's
production. There are instances where the drum levels occasionally overpower
other instruments, particularly the guitars, which can similarly dominate the
mix at other points. This inconsistent mixing occasionally detracts from the
overall clarity and balance of the instrumentation. Addressing the mix in
future releases would likely enhance the sonic impact of their otherwise
promising musical foundation.
Despite the production nuances, enthusiasts of
traditional black metal are encouraged to explore “In Carbon Mysticism”.
