Waldläufer are a solo project from Italy that plays a very melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2023 ep "Der Ewige Augenblick" which will be released some time in 2023.
Background noise and clean playing starts off the ep before going into more of a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and the music is heavily rooted in t he classic Swedish style.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard while the songs also mix in a lot of death metal elements. Tremolo picking is also added into a lot of the faster riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Spoken words and growls can also be heard on a few track along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as some of the songs also being long and epic in length, nature sounds and synths can also be heard briefly and clean playing also makes a brief return. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover poetic themes.
In my opinion Waldläufer are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tempus" and "Der Ewige Augenblick". 8 out of 10.
