Vyrju - Black

Review by Jeff Monson

Vyrju's album Black is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche. From the brooding opening track "Into the Void" to the epic closer "The End of All Things", the band crafts a sonic landscape that is both expansive and intimate, drawing the listener into a world of despair and hopelessness.

The album's standout tracks include "Eternal Night", a slow-burning epic that builds to a cathartic climax, and "Ashes and Dust", a haunting ballad that showcases the band's emotional range. Throughout the album, Vyrju's musicianship is impeccable, with intricate guitar work, thunderous drums, and evocative vocals that perfectly capture the album's bleak mood.

Summary by Jeff Monson

Black is not an easy listen, but it is a rewarding one. Vyrju has created a masterpiece of dark, atmospheric metal that will appeal to fans of bands like Opeth, Katatonia, and Anathema. This is an album that demands to be heard in its entirety, and one that will stay with the listener long after the final notes have faded away.
