Winter Arvn are a duo from France that plays a mixture of neo-folk and neo-classical and this is a review of their 2021 album "Abysses" which will be released in March by Antiq.
Acoustic guitars start off the album and also gives the music more of a neo folk feeling while some of the tracks are also instrumentals. Percussions and classical guitars can also be heard at times which also brings in a decent mixture of finger picking and full chords and clarinets can also be heard at times.
Some of the music also shows an influence of 90's era black metal while all of the tracks also sound very different from each other.. At times the music also captures a melancholic atmosphere along with a brief use of session work from members of Spectrale and Skyforger as well as one track also adding in a brief use of female vocals and there is also an Xasthur cover which introduces grim screams unto the album and male vocals are added on the closing track.
Winter Arvn plays a musical style that takes neo-folk and neo-classical and mixes it together with the melancholic atmosphere of black metal to create a sound of their own while the production also sounds very dark.
In my opinion Winter Arvn are a very great sounding mixture of neo-folk and neo-classical and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nocturene II" "Nocturne III" and "Quand Tombe le Jour". 8 out of 10.
