Feskarn are a solo project from Sweden that plays a mixture of folk and Viking metal and this is a review of his 2021 album "Raven's Sky" which will be released in February by Vegvisor Distribution.
Keyboards, symphonic elements and nature sounds start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction. Death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording while also adding in some black metal screams at times and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Throat singing can also be heard briefly along with the tracks also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
One of the tracks also introduces mouth harp's and shamanistic style percussion onto the recording along with the spoken word parts also giving the music more of a ritualistic feeling. Clean pagan vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as the folk music sections of the tracks also being mixed in with the heavier sections of the album, a later song also introduces stringed instruments into the music. and as the album progresses whispers and female vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Swedish and English and cover Viking Mythology.
In my opinion Feskarn are a very great sounding mixture of folk and Viking metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ravens Way" "Parasite" "Yggdrasil" and "The Frost of The Fallen". 8 out of 10.
