Sweden's From North has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of folk, viking and death metal and this a review of their 2023 album "Raven Banner" which will be released on November 24th by At Dawn Records.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while also bringing in elements of viking metal. Clean pagan vocals can also be heard at times along with the aggressive vocals being mostly black metal screams as well a s the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and touches of folk music are also added into certain sections.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also mix in a lot of influences from the more melodic side of death metal. When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard.
Some of the tracks also adding in back up shouts along with some of the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some synths, acoustic guitars and folk instruments can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Norse Mythology themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from From North and if you are a fan of folk, viking and melodic death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Raven Banner" "The Queen" "Rune Stones" and "Winter Blot". 8 out of 10.
