Kjeld are a band from the Netherlands that plays a very ferocious and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2018 ep "Banier fan Frisia" which was released by Heidens Hart Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the vocals being very angry sounding and high pitched black metal screams as well as the riffs also using a great amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the synths give the music more of an atmospheric and symphonic feeling along with a brief use of clean playing and the songs also bring in a great amount of influences from the mid 90's era and when guitar leads are used briefly they are done in a very melodic style.
Kjeld plays a style of black metal that is very raw, atmospheric and traditional sounding, the production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover dark themes.
In my opinion Kjeld are a very great sounding ferocious and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Wanskepsel". 8 out of 10.
