Velnezers is an enigmatic musical entity hailing from the haunting depths of Latvia's atmospheric black metal scene. Their sonic landscapes are rich with a haunting mystique that fuses elements of doom, ambient, and traditional Latvian folklore into a melancholic and often hypnotic journey. Throughout their musical endeavors, Velnezers has mastered the art of storytelling through their dark and poetic compositions, which are typically delivered in their native Latvian tongue, thereby deepening the cultural connection and authenticity of their art.

The releases "I: Es Uzcēlu Durvis Tīrumā" and "II: Drīz Mūsu Gravās Atkal Zāle Dīgs" showcase Velnezers' continued evolution in exploring themes of mortality, nature, and the cycle of life and death, integral to the understanding of the human condition. "Pēdējā Saule" translates to 'The Last Sun' and further cements their preoccupation with the ephemeral nature of existence, touching on the finality and transient moments before decline. In "Pagātnes Raktuves," or 'Excavations of the Past,' the band delves into the depths of historical awareness, unearthing olden tales and wisdom buried in time. Together, these releases paint a picture of a band deeply rooted in its heritage, pushing the boundaries of black metal towards more introspective and philosophically charged spheres.
