Aiwaz Darrkh...It Is! CD (Digipak, Hammerheart)

Aiwaz’s debut full-length, Darrkh... It Is!, crystallises the German duo’s vision of doom metal that balances weight and yearning. Recorded by vocalist Arkadius Kurek (Wheel) and multi-instrumentalist Timo Maischatz.

Across expansive compositions such as “The Ghost That Once Was I” and “When Judas Spins the Wheel,” Aiwaz weave towering riffs, mournful leads and solemn clean vocals into an atmosphere that is both crushing and cathartic. Reviewers highlight a doom foundation enriched by moments of melodic hope, drawing favourable comparisons to Solitude Aeturnus, My Dying Bride and other epic titans while retaining a distinct identity rooted in emotional intensity.

The result is a modern statement of epic, melancholic doom that rewards repeated listens this album is poised to become a prized item in any heavy-music collection.
