Black Metal

Sweden’s Bergraven are never shy of venturing to the very edge of black metal terrain and staring into the maddening abyss. In the nine years since Till Makabert Väsen all three members have been busy with their exceptional Stilla project, which has served to take the edge off the longing for new material. Bergraven are, however, an altogether more complex, ethereal beast and allows the trio to indulge their more experimental proclivities. Det framlidna minnet deals with memories – their fluid nature and how the healthy human spirit builds a wall around itself with carefully adjusted memories and yet sometimes the system corrupts and memories become ghosts that haunt their hosts with regret and despair. Present are the band’s trademark unusual song structures and jazz-inspired passages, which add a further sprinkling of chaos and unease to the mix. Over the course of eight intoxicating pieces, injected with the most intelligent, nuanced songwriting prowess to date, Bergraven remind us that expectations rarely match up with reality and what becomes of us in this mortal coil.

When the spirit of summer, the rays of the sun goes out, another fire is lit. A fire that burns nature into autumn colors, where the landscape turns into a reflection of its own flames. When the fire becomes ash, life slowly but surely falls into hibernation to broaden the path for Ragnarök and the winter of life.

With six epic tracks of pure channeling of forceful darkness, despair and mystery, “Ödhin” showcases both vicious outbursts of savagery, reflective moments of melancholy, and a primal strength with roots in all three worlds. With hypnotic waves of somber pathos, like the heavens coming apart and the very earth heaving and bursting aflame, BHLEG’s wintry spells mesmerize us with a message as ancient as time – in the end, our fate shall come for us all.

In the arctic twilight, Fåntratt emerges as a beacon of arcane storytelling, weaving the ancient threads of folklore with the mystic whispers of esoteric traditions. Their latest album, “Ångerstupa”, sets sail into the heart of Nordic lore and seafaring sagas, crafting a tale as vast as the oceanic depths.

“Arvet” (“The Heritage”) continues where “Syner” left off. Once again, Erik has struggled with the endless big questions that sensitive people have always struggled with and have tried to express. From the small and seemingly insignificant in every human being, to something that always pulsates and becomes meaningful in some way; beyond the meadows and the forests.

The heritage we carry within us is something we never can escape from. An inheritance is something that characterizes every individual in often paradoxical ways. It may be a social heritage, a biological heritage, a religious heritage, etc. With this album Grift wants to illuminate the always ongoing journey from the small safe place in each mans heart to the great unforeseen life. We often think that everything is going to shape from scratch to something unique. But sooner or later we understand our vulnerabilities and falls back to what we have inherited since we were innocent children.

The passion and despair found herein claw at your soul and heartstrings, leaving you breathless yet rejuvenated by the sheer force of the emotional outburst carried out by the six diverse songs. With a foundation in both desolate folk and melancholic harsh metal, “Budet” employs traditional instruments such as the lonely chords of a reed organ and exquisite violins, the latter courtesy of Georg Börner (ColdWorld, Sangre de Muerdago.) Erik Gärdefors’s vehement, bordering on desperate, vocal outbursts convey the introspective and thoughtful lyrics in a most gripping manner, and the thick rural atmosphere is at the same time both nostalgic, anguish-filled and redeeming.

A reverent ode to the days of yore, “Fordomdags” emerges as an anthology of forgotten sagas and mythical narratives, each track a portal to realms ruled by enigmatic forces. As the wistful chords echo through the annals of history, they invite listeners on an ethereal voyage into magical soundscapes where folklore intertwines with the spectral resonance of forlorn melodies.

Despite its foundation of brisk and wistful minimalism, the intricate melodies and cold timbre conjure up more of the soothing majesty of a clear-blue December sky than the life-depriving howls from a blizzard. “Hymner Från Snökulla” is the tranquil view seen from a desolate mountain peak into the very heart of winter.
