Wazzara are a band from Switzerland that has bene featured before in this zine and on this recording plays an atmospheric mixture of blackgaze, post black and doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 album "Arbor" which will be released on February 13th.
Bells, rain and thunder sounds start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the slower sections of the songs also being in elements of doom metal. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and clear singing is also utilized at times.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When clean playing is utilized it also adds in touches of shoegaze along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard.
One track also adding in a brief use of whispered vocals and when guitar solos and leads are introduced onto the album they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with a couple of songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing and one song also adds in a brief use of spoken word samples. and synths. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon a seeker's journey toward a hidden truth -a journey of transformation.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wazzara and if you are a fan of blackgaze, atmospheric post black and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "9 Confines" "Indigo Sleep" and "Zessa (Reborn)". 8 out of 10.
