Raven Banner are a band from Sweden that plays a melodic mixture of viking and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Rise Up Clan" which will be released in September.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with some black metal screams also being utilized at times and the solos and leads also add in a lot of melody.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Swedish style. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the whole recording sticks to a heavier direction.
Raven Banner plays a musical style that takes the melodic forms of black and death metal and mixes it with viking metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Vikings and Scandinavian Mythology and Paganism themes.
In my opinion Raven banner are a very great sounding melodic mixture of viking and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rise Up Clan" "Beware The Fury" "Thor's Anthem" and "Twilight of the Gods". 8 out of 10.
