Dyrnwyn are a band from Italy that plays a pagan form of folk metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" which will be released on October 24th by SoundAge Productions.
Rain, thunder and tribal drumming start off the album along with some folk instruments being added onto the recording a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a great amount of blast beats.
Black metal screams can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also bringing in a lot of melody as well as some epic sounding keyboards also being added into some parts of the music.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while some tracks also add in a small amount of acoustic guitars along with one track also introducing spoken word parts onto the recording as well as a couple of the songs being long and epic in length and as the album progresses an instrumental is added onto the recording.
Dyrnwyn plays a musical style that takes melodic black, pagan and folk metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover Pagan Roots and Ancient Rome themes.
In my opinion Dyrnwyn are a very great sounding pagan folk metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" "...Para Bellum" and "L'assedio di Veio - CCCVCVI A.C". 8/5 out of 10.
