Arvinger - Helgards fall |
|
As you metalheads know, things have happened in the Christian metal scene lately. One of the most exciting releases in the black genre is the debut album 'Helgards Fall' of Arvinger. This Norwegian two-man band plays melodic black metal(or whatever you choose to call it) with a big influence by northern folk music, and it totally rocks!!! Every song is of good quality, the beautiful guitar riffs alongside with synths, and on some songs female vocals, really awakes the wiking in every metalhead! They have a pretty unique sound, but maybe now and then it reminds of the legendary Antestors album 'The Return of the Black Death'. Hauk, who is also known as the only member of Arise Eternal, plays all instruments(this dude is very talented!). While Djerv praises the Lord with his high pitch voice in the official language of black metal, Norwegian. ;) The production is pretty good when keeping in mind that they've recorded everything in their own studio. Though there are things that need to be improved. The drums have a clutchy sound and the lead guitar could have been mixed up a bit. But overall it is pretty good, nothing to be ashamed about. Hauk and Djerv have already started working of their next album. I can hardly wait to hear it! These guys are going to reach far! |
