Mývalyĭr are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of folk and melodic death metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 album "The Past Tales" which will be released in February.
Stringed instruments and orchestration start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Elements of folk music are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of blast beats and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs at times while the vocals are mostly death metal growls, Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the screams also adding in touches of black metal and clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the album.
Spoken words can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing and acoustic guitars are also quite a bit throughout the album as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, female vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover history, war and mythology themes.
In my opinion Mývalyĭr are a very great sounding mixture of folk and melodic death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Recollection" and "The Mighty Never Fail". 8 out of 10.
