Nachtheem are a band from Netherlands that plays a very atmospheric form of black metal ad this is a review of their 2025 album "Nacht, zijmet ons..." which will be released in April by Van Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the synths also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also adding in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre, clear vocals are also added on a couple of tracks and one song is also an instrumental, spoken words are also added towards the end.
Nachtheem plays a style of black metal that is very raw and atmospheric sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover nostalgia themes.
In my opinion Nachtheem are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Drift van nostalgie" and "Daar aan het firmamant". 8 out of 10.
