Review by Widya Imrani

Basement EP Devoured By Wolves by Väkären – A Dark, Punk-Infused Ride Worth Your Time Alright, let’s talk about Basement EP Devoured By Wolves by Väkären. Released in 2017 under the label Disease Ov Mourning, this album is a wild blend of punk and depressive black metal that punches you right in the feels. It’s raw, it’s gritty, and honestly? It’s kinda unforgettable. Produced and mixed by Matt Lenway and Vieras, this thing has got some serious edge to it. And yeah, while it might not be everyone’s cuppa tea, if you’re into moody rock with a side of chaos, this one's for you. The album kicks off with eight tracks, but I wanna focus on two that stuck with me: “Devoured By Wolves” and “Cynical Insomniac.” These tunes aren’t just songs—they’re experiences. First up, “Devoured By Wolves.” Man, this track hits hard. The riffs are relentless, like a storm you can’t escape from (not that you’d want to). There’s something hypnotic about how the vocals shift between pissed-off screaming and almost haunting melodies. It’s like being chased through a forest at night—it’s chaotic, but there’s beauty in the madness. You feel it deep in your bones, ya know? Like, it’s not just music; it’s an emotional gut punch. Then there’s “Cynical Insomniac,” which is probably my favorite track here. This one grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The energy is insane—super fast-paced with these sharp guitar lines that make your head bang whether you want it to or not. But what really gets me is the lyrics. They’re dark, sure, but they also hit close to home if you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head. It’s like Väkären took all those late-night thoughts we try to ignore and turned them into pure sonic rage. Love it. Other tracks like “Titan Carrion” and “Miss America” bring their own vibes too, mixing punk attitude with black metal’s icy despair. Honestly, the whole album feels like a rollercoaster ride through someone’s messed-up mind—and I mean that as a compliment! What makes this album stand out isn’t just its sound—it’s the vibe. Listening to it feels like hanging out in a dimly lit basement with friends who get it. It’s messy, unapologetic, and real. Plus, knowing it came out of the USA and Canada gives it this cool underground feel, like it was born outta frustration and rebellion. So, would I recommend Basement EP Devoured By Wolves? Absolutely. If you’re looking for polished perfection, this ain’t it. But if you dig raw emotion and music that feels alive, check this out. Oh, and fun fact—I listened to “Cynical Insomniac” three times in a row because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. True story. Final thought? This album reminds me of why I fell in love with rock and metal in the first place. It’s not perfect, but damn if it doesn’t leave a mark. Now excuse me while I go blast “Devoured By Wolves” again… maybe louder this time.
