Nordic Frost are a solo project from Sacramento, California that plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2019 album "Ov Blasphemy And Other Rites" which was released by Rebel Pyro Musick.
Tragic sounding keyboards and symphonic elements start of the album and they also mix in with the heavier sections of the music. During the faster sections of the songs a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and a couple of the tracks are long and epic in length.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them as well as the music also mixing in elements of death metal at times.
A lot of the music also brings in influences from the mid 90's era of symphonic black metal but also keeps a modern atmosphere at the same time. As the album progresses a brief use of clean singing and chanting can be heard as well as a alter track being an instrumental, classical guitars are also added onto the closing track and their is also a hideen bonus version of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover witchcraft from the middle ages.
In my opinion Nordic Frost are a very great sounding symphonic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Compelled By Witchcraft" "Despondent Legions Ov The Dead" and "Penance Ov Sodom". 8 out of 10.
