Fjøsnisse are a solo project from Norway that plays a folkloric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2021 album "Vord" which was released by Screaming Skull Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When clean playing is utilized it also brings elements of folk music onto the recording along with the riffs also mixing in influences of thrash and traditional metal at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet old school style along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them as well as some synths and spoken word parts also being added on the closing track. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover sagas and folk tales.
In my opinion Fjøsnisse are a very great sounding folkloric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tusser Og Troll" "Fjelleventeyr" and "Gjenferd". 8 out of 10.
