Review by Darlene Morrow

Durch Neblige Wälder is a hauntingly beautiful album by Vinterriket that captures the essence of wandering through misty forests. The atmospheric black metal project, led by German musician Christoph Ziegler, expertly blends ambient soundscapes with eerie melodies to create a sonic experience that transports the listener to a mystical realm.

The album features eight tracks, each with its own unique character and mood. From the slow, mournful opening of "Rückzug in die Innerste einer Seele" to the menacing, frenzied energy of "In der Einsamkeit der Wälder," the album takes the listener on a journey through the dark, primeval forests of the imagination.

Ziegler's use of field recordings and natural sounds adds to the immersive quality of the album, creating a sense of being surrounded by the mist and the trees. The vocals, when present, are buried deep in the mix, adding to the otherworldly quality of the music.
