NYIÞ are a musical project from Iceland that plays a ritualistic mixture of ambient and drone and this is a review of their 2022 double album "᛬ᚢᛁᛋᚿᛁ•ᚼᛆᛏᛁ•ᚼᚱᛅ᛬" which was released by Cyclic Law.
Ambient style synths which also adds in a variety of many different sounding keys and atmospheric sounding drones start off the album while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Drums can also b e heard in the background at times and some of the songs also sticks to an instrumental direction.
At times the music gets very ritualistic sounding while also mixing in a very dark yet haunting atmosphere at times. Guitar orientated drones can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with some folk instruments being added into some parts of the album as well as one song also introducing the use of black metal screams, ritualistic throat singing and melodic chants.
Ritualistic bell's can also b e heard briefly and also gives the music more of an eastern mysticism along with all of the tracks also sounding very different from each other. Spoken word parts can also be heard at times and also enhances the occult atmosphere of the recording, clean playing and slide guitars can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are based upon a 17th century Icelandic Grimoire.
In my opinion NYIÞ are a very great sounding ritualistic mixture of ambient and drone and if you are a f an of t hose musical genres, you should check out this project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Decompose" "Lilith" "Fjorbrot" and "Rot". 8 out of 10.
