Darvaza is a duo formed by multi-instrumentalist Omega and vocalist Wraath, known for their relentless presence in the black metal underground. With a decade of experience and several EPs leading up to their 2022 debut album “Ascending Into Perdition,” the band has built a reputation for crafting music that is fiery, intense, and unapologetically dark.

“We Are Him” is a black metal album that moves with an assured, forceful energy. The music is raw with aggression and sharp in delivery, with Omega and Wraath operating in perfect synchrony. Songs like “Holy Blood” and “Chaos.Fire.Devotion” hit with a raw, piercing intensity, while tracks such as “Slaying Heaven” have a slow, deliberate heaviness that gives space for the impact to sink in. Vocals alternate between haunting chants and fierce roars, reinforcing the uncompromising nature of the material.

The album holds a clear focus, combining measured pacing with bursts of intensity. “Lazarus” and “Blood Of No-One” expand on that, carrying a rhythmic force that makes the album gripping from start to finish. Production is clean enough to let the individual elements cut through, yet retains the raw edge essential to the black metal atmosphere Darvaza cultivates. For anyone drawn to black metal with a commanding presence and fiery delivery, “We Are Him” offers a compelling listen. It’s direct, intense, and fully committed to its vision, with a natural flow across the tracks that keeps attention engaged throughout.
