Album Reviews
The cold icy impression of the Norwegian black metal is beautifully conjured on the self titled album.
Murg depicts their work of art in a fascinating way. The band certainly falls under the category of old school black metal.
Djevel delivers a unique approach of old school black metal meets melodic black metal. Their new album, ‘Ormer til armer, maane til hode’focuses on its raw templates and icy cold melodies.
On “Ophidian Manifest” Kampfar treads between the thin line of the modern black metal and the second wave.
This is absolutely a riff driven album where Mork showcases the traditions of the Norwegian black metal style.
