This is a review of another recording from Norway's Nattmann which also shows the music going for an old school style of black metal and the ep will be released in 2024 and called "Et Jordsmonn Av Døde".
A very dark, heavy yet melodic sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is heavily rooted in t he classic Nordic style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Synths can also be heard at times which also gives the recording more of a mid 90's touch and the guitar solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Nattmann expands on their old school style of black metal with some more modern touches without losing the aggression of previous releases. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover society, morality and executions throughout the 1600's and 1800's.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nattmann and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Trollkvine" and "Skafottsalme". 8 out of 10.
