Russia's Ethir Anduin have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and blackened form of doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Гипнагогия".
Clean playing starts off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the slower sections of the songs also add in elements of doom metal. All of the tracks are also instrumentals along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as some blast b eats also being added into the faster sections of the album.
Some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the faster riffing also adding in a small amount of tremolo picking, at times the music also gets very progressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the song themes focus on loneliness, nature and contemplation of the north.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ethir Anduin and if you are a fan of instrumental and blackened doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Небыль" "Взбираясь тропою к вершинам горы" and "В омуте дремлет налим ". 8 out of 10.
