Kromheim are a band from Poland that has had music reviewed before in t his zine and on this recording plays a mixture of viking and melodic death metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Journey To Divinity" which will be released in February.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast b eats. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times and the music is heavily rooted in t he classic Swedish style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to t hem while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with one song also introducing synths and viking metal elements onto the recording, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and as the album progresses a small amount of acoustic guitars are also utilized.
On this recording Kromheim goes for a musical style that is very heavily rooted in the Swedish styles of viking and melodic death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Vikings and Norse Paganism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kromheim and if you are a fan of viking and melodic death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "War" "1000 Lives" and "Journey To Divinity". 8 out of 10.
