Explore the sacred domains

Viamaer is a Warsaw‑based solo project shaped entirely by Krystian Jurkiewicz, who channels atmospheric post‑black metal and shoegaze into a sound that feels weightless, luminous, and quietly overwhelming. Rather than leaning on aggression, Viamaer builds vast emotional spaces—glimmering guitars, drifting textures, and a sense of suspended time. It’s music that moves like light through fog: soft at the edges, radiant at the core, and always reaching toward something just out of view.

Jurkiewicz’s approach is deeply textural. Layers of reverb‑washed guitars, airy melodies, and subtle rhythmic pulses create a dreamlike atmosphere that sits comfortably between post‑black metal’s emotional intensity and shoegaze’s immersive haze. The project’s sound is introspective rather than confrontational, shaped by mood, color, and the interplay between brightness and shadow.

Viamaer’s first appearance came with the single In Excitatione Terrae (2025), a shimmering, ascending piece that introduced the project’s celestial tone. This was followed by Liberum Arbitrium (2026), a track that leaned further into emotional resonance—melancholic, expansive, and built around slow‑burning crescendos. Both singles paved the way for the full‑length In Lumine Lunae (2026), a work that crystallizes Viamaer’s identity: nocturnal, atmospheric, and steeped in the interplay between light and darkness.

Still active, Viamaer stands as one of the more ethereal voices in Poland’s modern post‑black metal landscape—an introspective, luminous project that treats sound as a kind of emotional architecture, built from solitude, reflection, and the quiet glow of the moon.
