Wacht - Wacht

Review by E. Chris Lynch

Wacht's self-titled album is a mesmerizing journey through the depths of atmospheric black metal. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful instrumental track "Vlucht," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The soundscapes are dark and brooding, and the use of orchestral elements and acoustic guitars add a touch of melancholy to the overall atmosphere.

The vocals on the album are raw and visceral, with a range of screams and growls that perfectly complement the music. The lyrics are in Dutch, which adds to the otherworldly feel of the album.

The standout tracks on the album are "Treurwilg" and "Verloren," which showcase the band's ability to create epic, sweeping soundscapes that are both beautiful and terrifying. The use of clean vocals on "Verloren" adds a haunting quality to the track that is truly mesmerizing.

Summary by E. Chris Lynch

Wacht's self-titled album is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric black metal. The band's ability to create a dark, brooding atmosphere is truly impressive, and the album is a testament to their talent as musicians. Highly recommended.
