TERDOR – DE GODDELOZE TOLGAARDER ( Review by Varg The Mighty )

 

Today’s review is of Netherlandish Black Metal band Terdor’s upcoming new album, out on October 1^st.

Solely consisting of 2 songs, the release often treads through Progressive and Avant-Garde Black Metal territories, although the essence of the music is very far from it. While some passages adopt a startling and Voivod-esque approach, most of the release leans more towards Raw Black Metal.

With many riffs bringing Burzum to mind between different complexities, the album hops from modern to classic soundscapes, never letting go of a desolate kind of darkness that perpetually looms upon the composition. The production will surely appeal to classic Norwegian Black Metal fans, since the full-length has a raw sonority while not provoking the music’s unintelligibility. The bass guitar’s synchrony with the guitar melodies and greater than usual role is also notable.

I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal, especially but not only Raw and Avant-Garde Black Metal. My rating is of 9/10.
