Kalrog Naar are a solo project from Italy that plays a very epic, romantic and fantasy themed form of dark metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 ep "Dark Metal" which consists of re=recorded songs from the mid 90's to early 2000's.
Heavy guitars. programmed drum beats and keyboards start off the ep while the clear vocals bring in more of a goth metal style. Grim black metal screams are also utilized at times while some of the tracks also add in a small amount of clean playing and some of the slower riffing adds in a touch of doom metal.
A lot of t he music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Some of the clear vocals are very heavily rooted in power metal along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and a later track also adds in some clean playing.
Kalrog Naar plays a musical style that takes black, dark, viking, gothic and power metal and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover fantasy themes.
In my opinion Kalrog Naar are a very great sounding epic, romantic and fantasy themed dark metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lost Artic Horizons" "The Pyramid Under The Moon" and "Portal of Infinity". 8 out of 10.
