Wanderer are a band from Ukraine that plays a very atmospheric, raw and primitive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2004 album "Bypassing The Abyss" which was re-issued by Dunkleheit Produktionen during the year of 2012.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the synths bring a very dark and atmospheric sound to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding with a good amount of dark sounding melodies being thrown into the riffing as well as some thrash influences, while the lead guitars when they are utilized they are very melodic, raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams that have a very hateful and depressive sound to them as well as a brief use of deeper vocals and clean singing in addition there is a brief use of female singing being utilized on one song, while the lyrics cover darkness, nature and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Wanderer are a very great sounding atmospheric, raw and primitive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical style, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Disseappeared In The Mist" "Sacrifice To The Ritual Fire" and "In The Swamps Pool". RECOMMENDED BUY.
