Winter Nights are a band from New York that plays a very atmospheric and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Northern Solitude".
Clean playing starts off the ep before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also adds in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with all of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them, tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing.
Winter Nights plays a musical styles that takes the atmospheric and melodic forms of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the human experience of despair and existential introspection.
In my opinion Winter Nights are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Catharsis". 8 out of 10.
