Folkrim are a band from Finland that has been featured before in this zine and plays folk metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Embers" which will b e released in April by Rockshots Records.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some folk instruments a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the harsh vocals add in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls.
Clear vocals are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while female vocals are also added on a couple of tracks. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with some songs also adding in a small amount of keyboards, throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
One song also introduces spoken words and acoustic guitars onto the album and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a twisted tale of descent, from a shipwreck through decaying marshlands to a grand epic of destruction and a couple of tracks are also written in Finnish.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Folkrim and if you are a fan of folk metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bottle Of Poison" "Swamp Brew" "Raven's Cry" and "Embers". 8 out of 10.
