Similar to the way Kamfar play their caustic Viking/Black Metal. The songs are lengthy, intricate and primitive in their nature. The fast, lustreless atmosphere generated by the bands early works, makes for hard digesting, yet it is Black Metal, albeit set to a Viking theme.
Formed in 1992, the bands 1995 debut Jormundgand, is a crude, almost incoherent set of songs that swirl in a violent beauty of atonal riffing and primitive gnarled chaotic distortion. Screaming shrills scratch the air and follow a similar path to Burzum in terms of texture and disturbing atmospheres. The Viking elements are virtually cloaked in the ear shredding schitzoid vocal attack and raw to the marrow guitar sound.
Av Norron Aett [1997], the bands second full length finds the screechy vocals replaced by a more gravelled approach, thus making the fast swooning Black Viking Metal more palatable. Clean vocals evoke the Viking elements that make this release.
