Elvenscroll are a band from Finland that plays folk metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Never To Be Mourned" which will be released on November 6th by Inverse Records.
A very heavy, epic and melodic sound starts off the album along with some black metal screams a few seconds later. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in a great amount of melody while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats
Synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the music at times while the songs also add 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 and when acoustic guitars are utilized they also add in elements of folk music.
The songs also have their symphonic moments along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of clean pagan vocals and as the album progresses an instrumental is added onto the intro and also introduces cello's into the music. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Paganism, Heroism, Solidarity and Overcoming Difficulties.
In my opinion Elvenscroll are a very great sounding folk metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Relic's" and "Wayfarer's Mourning". 8 out of 10.
