Undirheimar are a solo project from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very ritualistic and shamanistic form of dark ambient and this is a review of his 2022 ep "Vardlokkur" which was released by Cyclic law.
Shamanistic style drumming starts off the ep while atmospheric sounding drones can also be heard at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the synths also bringing in elements of dark ambient when they are utilized and the throat singing also gives the recording more of a ritualistic atmosphere.
Touches of minimalism can also be heard at times while percussion can also be heard in the background of the songs. All of the tracks sound very different from each other along with a lot of the music also sounding like an improvised pagan ritual and whispered vocals are also added on the closing song.
On this recording Underheimar takes dark ambient and shamanistic ritual and mixes them together to create a very diverse recording. The production sounds very dark while t he song themes focus on Thurisan Sorcery.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Undirheimar and if you are a fan of dark ambient, drone and ritual, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Galdra".
