Vinterdracul are a duo from Baltimore, Maryland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for more of a black metal influenced form of gothic rock and this is a review of their 2022 album "The lee Variations" which will be released in July by Canticle Throe.
A very powerful and melodic gothic rock sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the drum beats are programmed.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while some of the riffing also adds in a touch of post punk. When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard along with the guitar leads and solos also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
On this recording Vinterdracul remain true to the black metal influenced style of gothic rock that they had established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon a vampire and his journeys through life.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vinterdracul and if you are a fan of black metal influenced gothic rock, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "End Scene" "Ten Years" "Phantom Of The Future" and "Undead". 8 out of 10.
