Svartsot – Mulmets Viser
Genre: Death Metal, Folk Metal
Label: Napalm Records
Folk metal is kind of a lie. There’s a bit more happening here than just folk metal. Like death metal.
But hey, whatever. This album kicks ass. Accordions are side by side with some crushingly heavy guitars, as are whistles, flutes, and the like.
Vocally, death vocals are the order of the day, grunted out with a nice intensity, but not too fast. Kind of reminding me of Corpsegrinder’s sound, but totally different in style.
It’s another really simple review for Napalm Records, and my first review of Svartsot. This stuff is great, and it makes me want to play D&D and get hammered.
8.5 out of 10.
