Greece's Celtefog have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric style of pagan black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Δέλτα".
Water sounds start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they are also done in a very melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some of the synths also adding in elements of ambient, clear pagan vocals can also be heard briefly and battle sounds, spoken word parts and folk instruments are added on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Norse, Celtic Paganism and Nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Celtefog and if you are a fan of atmospheric pagan black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Celt In The Fog" and "Valfar, Ein Windir". 8 out of 10.
