Thyrfing are a band from Sweden that has been around for more than 25 years and plays a melodic mixture of black, viking and folk metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Vanagandr" which will be released in August by Despotz Records.
A very heavy sound starts off the album while epic sounding synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clean playing can also be heard in some parts off the recording along with the music being mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. Stringed instruments are also added on some of the tracks along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and clean pagan vocals can also be heard on a few songs.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as a later song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and a small amount of tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing, operatic female vocals can also b e heard briefly towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover Norse Mythology and the Darker Side Of Life.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Thyrfing and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Undergångens länkar" "Järnhand" and "Jordafärd". 8 out of 10.
