Germany's Varg has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of viking, pagan, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Ewige Wacht" which will be released in October by Napalm Records.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while the vocals bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and spoken word parts and whispers can also be heard on a couple of tracks.
Clear vocals are also added on some of the tracks while some of the songs also add in a small amount of acoustic guitars. Female vocals can also be heard on some of the tracks along with one song also introducing keyboards onto the album which also gives the recording more of a medieval touch, when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and most of the album sticks to either a slow or mid paced direction.
On this recording Varg goes for more of a mid tempo and melodic mixture of viking, pagan, black and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover Vikings, Norse Mythology and Paganism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Varg and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Immer Treu" "Fylgia" "Hammer" and "Ewige Wacht". 8 out of 10.
