Simple Existenz are a solo project from Germany that plays an atmospheric mixture of black and dark metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Trummer" which was released by Undercover Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom and dark metal. Clean playing can be heard at times along with the synths also giving the recording more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are done in more of a clean viking metal style which also have their rough moments while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a black metal feeling.
Spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with one song also adding in a brief use of female vocals and choirs as well as a few songs also adding in a small amount of grim black metal screams. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover isolation, decay and existential emptiness.
In my opinion Simple Existenz are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black and dark metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Das Leis des Prometheus" "Schmutz" "Der Tum" and "Silo". 8 out of 10.
