WitcheR - Lélekharang - Reviewed By OccultBlackMetalZine ! Check it out here at this link: https://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/2022/10/witcherlelekharangfilosofem-records2022.html

Hungary's WitcheR have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school style of atmospheric black emtal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Lelekharang" which was released by Filosofem Records.

Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The riffs also add in a lot of melody while the music also has its atmospheric moments along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the songs also add in a great amount of 90's influences.

When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. Female vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with all of the drum beats also being programmed as well as most of the music sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, clean playing can also be heard briefly and the album closes with a cove r of Ludwig Von Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonota".

On this recording WitcheR goes for more of an atmospheric and epic style of black metal that is very heavily keyboard orientated and rooted in the 90's era. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics are written in Hungarian and cover Folklore and Witchcraft themes.

In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from WitcheR and if you are a f an of old school, epic and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hamvak" and "Csendesen". 8 out of 10. - OccultBlackMetalZine

WitcheR’s history started back in 2010. The band was formed by Gere Karola (synths, vocal) and Neubauer Roland (guitars, drums, vocal) in order to perform atmospheric black metal music based on classical music elements and strong synths harmonies, following such bands’ heritage as Summoning or early Dimmu Borgir.

From the very beginning, catchy melodies and elevated mood took important parts in the music. The lyrics are mostly about witchcraft, Hungarian folklore, adherence to old values, and the maximum opposition to the modern world.

In the past years, next to several demos, split albums, two full-length albums were born under the band’s flag (Csendes domb – 2015; A gyertyák csonkig égnek – 2019), and the year 2022 opened a new dimension for WitcheR in many aspects.

The time has come for the watershed's third album, which was released on CD, tape and vinyl on October 8th, 2022, entitled Lélekharang. In every respect, the album represents a completely new level in the band's life, and even the first music videos were shot in connection with it.
