Norway's solo project Minneriket has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an avant garde and experimental style of black metal along with a great amount of session musicians and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "Gjennom meg går ingen til hvile" which will b e released in 2022.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some keyboards and field recordings a few seconds later. Female vocals can also be heard in some parts of the recording while grim black metal screams are also a very huge part of the heavier sections of the songs and synths are also a very huge part of the recording.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. At times the music also gets very experimental and avant garde sounding and during the faster sections of the songs a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
One of the instrumentals also introduces stringed instruments onto the recording along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. Spoken word parts are also added on some of the tracks as well as the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as each track also sounding very different from each other. Flutes, saxophones and gongs can also be heard in certain sections of some of the songs, as the album progresses the music starts incorporating more use of the choir vocals. The production sounds very aw and heavy while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover paganism, existentialism and melancholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Minneriket and if you are a fan of avant garde and experimental black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE " Så kald en jord" "Sorg og savn" and "Nåde". 8 out of 10.
