Album Reviews
Thronum Vrondor on their fourth album has combined subtle atmosphere and a twisted concoction of modern melodic black metal.
‘Eternal Hails……’ is a well-crafted album brought by excellent songwriting from these true traditionalists.
‘Dy’th Requiem for the Serpent Telepath’ is a lengthy album, containing twelve songs that combine into a seventy-seven minutes mystical overture. The album is built on lofty musical arrangements that manifest in different tones of atonal symphony.
The seven new tracks convey a dark and menacing atmosphere of Swedish melodic black metal which showcases the skills of the veteran musician.
On the latest EP, Nordjevel invokes the hallmarks of Swedish black metal like Dark Funeral and Marduk as they serve as an example of sheer aggression and violence.
Wormlight illustrates a sense of aptitude where they exploit the faculty of the formula. “Nightmother” is a concept album that establishes a high intent from these Swedish musicians.
Ungfell’s third album ‘Es grauet’ is beautifully textured with Swiss folk tunes. Recommended for fans of black/folk metal.
‘The Dread March of the Solemn Gods’ is a grim black metal album that involves many epic proportions. Highly recommended recommended for fans of Dissection, Bathory and Emperor.
Fyrnask on their fourth studio album ‘VII Kenoma’ reaches a high virtue in the hierarchy of modern black metal.
‘A Diabolical Thirst’ comes as a bold promulgation from the Quebec formation.
