Rebellious Belarus dissidents Dymna Lotva shape their own artistic evolution exploring diverse darkened territories and mythical realms on the inspiring fourth album “Vyraj”.
Listening to “Zory” we enter an obscure dimension where ruthless growls and incessant riffage remain dominant while the baroque keyboards accents emphasize a mysterious mood.
“Veha” channels the ritualistic vibes of obscure Nordic black metal with monolithic guitars and intense rhythmic blasts enriched by cinematic eerie orchestrations characterized by a cryptic folk inspiration.
“The Boat of Despair” is destined to conquer your heart immediately expressing eternal gloom with the exquisite gothic flair of decadent guitar melodies and sumptuous keyboards further enhanced by an extraordinary vocal performance courtesy of legendary Aaron Stainthorpe.
On “Niama Darohi” haunting synths meticulously prepare a theatrical atmospheric maze while dramatic growls and gelid guitar riffs build a satisfying blackened structure that culminates in a convoluted harmonious solo.
“Return My Coffin Home” ensures a cathartic grand finale choosing an epic melodic pathway for the polished guitars and conveying a perennial sense of longing with opulent atmospheric textures.
During their personal journey Dymna Lotva courageously manifest an expansive sonic vision that naturally overcomes boundaries leading to the kaleidoscopic soundscapes of “Vyraj”.
