Ragnhild are a band from India that plays a mixture of viking and melodic blackened death metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "Tavern Tales".
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album along with some death metal growls and black metal screams being introduced onto the recording a few seconds later. The riffs also use a great amount of melody while a lot of blast beats can also be heard during the faster sections of the music.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the Swedish style while back up viking shouts are also utilized at times. Acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some of the tracks being long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them while a couple of songs also brings in a brief use of viking ships and nature sounds along with the closing track also adding in folk instruments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover viking themes.
In my opinion Ragnhild are a very great sounding mixture of viking and melodic blackened death metal and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vikings Mosh" "Battle On My Grave" "Glory Of Our Mighty King" and "Tavern Tales". 8 out of 10.
