There’s no higher strategy to begin a Friday than with a serving of darkish, foreboding, and irresistibly catchy black metallic. Änterbila takes the basic sounds of bands like Gorgoroth and Darkthrone and performs in a method akin to bands like Ungfell and Kvelgeyst — uncooked and melancholy, however with an strategy that may be experimental and unpredictable. Decibel is profoundly happy due to this fact to debut the band’s new music, “Årsgång,” from their upcoming album Avart.
I after all love the riffs and vocals on this music, however the very best half is likely to be the varied rhythms the band explores right here. It’s deeply partaking to the listener and rewards you with every replay. Jerff, the band’s vocalist and certainly one of its guitarists, is an enormous fan of D-beat punk, and you may positively hear that shine via on this music. In response to the band:
“With Avart, Änterbila plunges deeper into the shadows of folklore itself, abandoning the attitude of the wandering listener to inhabit the twisted minds of the damned. This can be a journey advised via the eyes of the characters who lived it. The album’s sound is as unflinching as its narrative—recorded with a uncooked, quick power, it captures the band’s collective energy guided by their founding imaginative and prescient.”
Try the music beneath. Avart comes out through Nordvis on November 14. For readers who wish to preorder a bodily copy of the vinyl or CD, head over to the Nordvis webstore.
