Today’s review is of Norwegian Black Metal band Nordjevel’s upcoming new EP, out on May 7th.
The release consists of 2 exclusive tracks, a track that will be featured on their next album, a curiously adapted cover of Possessed’s “Fallen Angel” and a nice live performance of “Det Ror og Ror”.
The title track combines their usual aggressive assault of true Black Metal in the likes of legends like Dark Funeral or Marduk with a purer Norwegian sound and hints of Folk, bringing Storm or Mork to mind when listening to it. On the other hand, both “Gnawing The Bones” and “Rovdyr” remind much more of their previous album, “Necrogenesis”. Overall, the EP portrays an excellent band as they continue to evolve without forgetting their roots or own style. Thanks to catchy guitar riffs, a vocal performance that gets well combined with the music and perfectly one of the best drummers there is doing what he does best, this release has some great songs, serving as an excellent foretoken of their third album.
I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal. My rating is of 9,5/10.
