Valkenrag are a band from Poland that plays a melodic mixture of viking, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Fury Untamed" which will be released on April 25th by Art Of The Night Productions.
Drum beats and heavy riffing starts off the ep while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams along with the solos and leads also adding in a lot of melody and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A lot of the recording is also very heavily influenced by the Swedish style along with some of the faster riffing also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and one song also adds in some orchestration, spoken words are also added towards the end.
Valkenrag plays a musical style that takes the melodic forms of viking, black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Norse and Slavic Mythology.
In my opinion Valkenrag are a very great sounding melodic mixture of viking, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Fury Untamed" and "Bleed To Be". 8 out of 10.
