Maheshvara are a solo project from Ireland that plays an atmospheric form of dark metal with elements of ritual, ambient and darkwave and this is a review of his 2024 album "Om Tat Sat" which was released by Black Vulture Records.
Ritualistic soundscapes and ambient style synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the slower sections of the tracks also add in elements of doom metal and the grim vocals bring in more of a black metal style.
Programmed beats are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Touches of darkwave can also be heard at times along with one song also adding in a brief use of female vocals which also give the album more of an ethnic touch, spoken word parts and clear singing can also be heard briefly as well as the whole album also sticking to a slower direction.
Maheshvara plays a musical style that takes atmospheric black, dark, doom meta, ritual, ambient and darkwave and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover the 'Bhagavad-Gita-As It Is' by A.C BhaktivedantaSwami Prabhupada and other Sanskrit texts.
In my opinion Maheshvara are a very great sounding atmospheric dark metal solo project with elements of ritual, ambient and darkwave and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eternal Soul" "Seers Of The Truth" and "Interim State". 8 out of 10.
