Wolfredt - IIII (2023)

Wolfredt was born as Margus Voolpriit's solo project, but eventually evolved to the full-fleshed post-rock/post-metal band. Voolpriit, also known as a drummer in the Estonian dream pop icons, Pia Fraus, with his mates released this year already the 5th album under this moniker (if I count it correctly, the title of this one suggests something else...).

In any case, IIII presents a healthy dose of heavy guitar music with inspirations taken from the best post-rock artists with some post-metal additions. It is kept in this powerful, very tangibly overwhelming way of expression, one that can easily erupt in the form of metal-like screaming, but can also calm down and, in very classic post-rock fashion, become a beautiful, soft and tear-jerking composition. Still, the loudness dominates the landscape here. This is the kind of music that is meant to overwhelm you and keep astonished til the very end of the album.

IIII costs 7 EUR.
