Perunwit are a band from Poland and on this recording played a ritualistic mixture of dark ambient, neo-folk and pagan/folk metal and this is a review of their 2000 album "Wszystkie odcienie szarości" which was re-issued in 2021 by Black Death Production.
The sounds of wolves start off the album along with some dark ambient style synths a few seconds later. Ritualistic sounding whispers can also be heard at times while the acoustic guitars also bring in elements of neo folk when they are utilized and percussion's can also be heard in some parts of the recording.
Spoken word parts are also added on some of the tracks while some of the songs are also very long and epic in length. Clean pagan vocals can also be heard in some parts of the album along with some songs also adding in electric guitars as well as each song also sounding very different from each other, grim black metal screams can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and folk instruments can are also added at times., melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
On this recording Perunwit took ritual, neo folk and dark ambient and mixed it with pagan, black and folk metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover Paganism, History and Heritage themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Perunwit and if you are a fan of ritual, neo-folk, dark ambient and pagan/folk metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Pieśń o słońcu, płodności, narodzinach, życiu i śmierci" "Wszystkie odcienie szarości" and "Gods Of Thunder". 8 out of 10.
