Aufnorden – America Septentrionalis (2024)

October 16, 2024

Inside you are two wolves… lmao sorry I couldn’t resist.

Seriously though, this Aufnorden project is absolutely fantastic. This record is no exception. The Bathory cover(s) in the middle of the album’s run time is a weird inclusion, but in all fairness the song choice blends in rather nicely with what Aufnorden is trying to achieve here. If you take the complexities of acts like the covered act Bathory, or even the scope of the compositions of something like Graveland, but strip away the jankyness, throw in a bit more “kvlt” atmosphere and you wouldn’t be a million miles away from this.

I’m doing it a disservice. Just listen to it, because it’s brilliant.
