Meschera are a band from Russia that plays a very atmospheric and blackened form of folk metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Tales of The Black Forests".
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the ep along with some female vocals a few seconds later. When the music speeds up a decent amount of black metal style tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard while synths also give the music more of an epic atmosphere when they are utilized and melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while elements of folk music and stringed instruments can also be heard at times. The music also has its atmospheric moments along with some male vocals also being introduced on the second track, all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Meschera plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in folk metal as well a mixing in some of the more aggressive and atmospheric parts of black metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Russian and cover Nature, Forests and paganism themes.
In my opinion Meschera are a very great sounding atmospheric and blackened folk metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Watcher of The Pine Forests" and "Within Unknown Swamps". 8 out of 10.
