Sturmfolk – Klänge des Nordens (2019)

March 20, 2024

Entertaining but incredibly messy black metal from Germany. The synths and atmospheric elements are fantastic but when the core of the band come in, well shit is almost as shambolic as early Graveland. In fact, I’m pretty sure the guitarist and the drummer are in different bands and they’ve just stapled the unrelated recording sessions together to form songs. I’m joking of course, but the tightness is uhhh, not great.

Verdict: A for atmosphere (and vocals!, Z for everything else, so a score right down the middle.)
