Germany's Skarntyde have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw and old school style of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Da jeg gråt ved jordens ruiner" which was released by Trollmusic.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the early to mid 2000's Norwegian style along with the riffing also adding in a decent amount of melody and all of t he music sticks to a heavier direction, clear vocals can also be heard on the closing track.
On this recording Skarntyde plays a style of black metal that is more influenced by the 2000's era of Norwegian black metal instead of t he 90's style that most bands go for. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover eco anarchism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording f rom Skarntyde and if you are a fan of Nordic influenced black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Midt i ruinene". 8 out of 10.
