Label: Northern Silence Productions

Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal

Format: Vinyl / CD / Cassette

Description:

Burning Embers, Forgotten Wolves is a mournful and expansive work from Autrest, where black metal becomes remembrance shaped by cold landscapes and quiet loss. The album feels like standing among ruins at dusk — traces of fire still glowing while the living have long since vanished.

Melancholic tremolo melodies drift through wide, immersive soundscapes, guided by steady, restrained drumming that favors patience and emotional weight over urgency. Vocals emerge distantly, often submerged within reverb, reinforcing a sense of abandonment and fading identity. The production emphasizes space and repetition, allowing sorrow and atmosphere to accumulate slowly and naturally.

Rather than aggression, Burning Embers, Forgotten Wolves draws its strength from contrast — warmth against cold, memory against erasure. Black metal here is elegiac and contemplative, where the past survives only as echo and ash. Each track feels like a quiet vigil, honoring what once roamed freely but is now only remembered.
