Urfeind are a band from Germany that plays an anti cosmic form of heathen black metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Þurisabloþa" which will be released towards the end of February by Vamamarga Conjurations.
Militant beats start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark and melodic style along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Ritualistic spoken word parts can also be heard at times as well as the vocals also adding in a grim yet somewhat melodic approach on a couple of tracks, a couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Dark Germanic Heathenism that is mostly in the Thurisan Tradition of Abgrundjaskalkaz, Anti Cosmic Left Hand Path themes and one song covers Perun from Slavic Paganism.
In my opinion Urfiend are a very great sounding anti cosmic heathen black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Golda Dolgr" "Forged By Fire" and "The Nothing". 8 out of 10.
