Nattblod are a band from Sweden that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2020 ep.
Melodic guitar leads and solos start off the ep along with some heavier riffing a few seconds later while the lyrics are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling while the music also brings in a great amount of 90's influences. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some whispered vocals also being utilized briefly and the ep closes with a very ritualistic sounding outro.
Nattblod plays a style of black metal that is very raw and melodic in the classic Swedish tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, nature and occultism themes.
In my opinion Nattblod are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Agony". 8 out of 10.
