Kurgan are a band from Denmark that plays a melodic mixture of viking, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Yggdrasil Burns" which will be released on September 20th by Massacre Records.
Thunderstorm sounds start off the album along with some classical guitars a few seconds later before introducing melodic guitar leads onto the recording. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the vocals also add in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of viking music are also used quite a bit throughout the recording along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's Scandinavian style, classical guitars also make a return on some of the later tracks.
Kurgan plays a musical style that takes the melodic forms of viking, black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own.The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Death, Norse Mythology, Battles, Blood, Gore and Medieval character themes.
In my opinion Kurgan are a very great sounding melodic mixture of viking, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Fall Of Asgard" "Kill The Enemy" "Evil Dead" and "Over the Lands, Into The Sea". 8 out of 10.
