Vinterdracul are a duo from Baltimore, Maryland that plays a black metal influenced form of gothic rock and this is a review of their 2022 album "The Murnau Nocturnes" which was released by Canticle Throe.
Synths and orchestration start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. Vocals a re mostly tortured sounding black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and also bring in elements of 80's era gothic rock and post punk and all of the drum beats are programmed.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Most of the tracks are also very short in length along with a couple of tracks also being instrumentals and as the album progresses a brief use of blast beats can b e heard.
Vinterdracul plays a musical style that takes black metal, gothic rock and post punk and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are a concept album and cover a fictional version of F.W Murnau a famous silent film movie director from the 1920's.
In my opinion Vinterdracul are a very great sounding mixture of black metal and gothic rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hollywood Vampires" "London After Midnight" and "Conde Dracula". 8 out of 10.
