Northern Krig are a band from Norway that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw an old school form of black metal and this is a review of t heir self released 2024 album "Concept Of A Suicidal Journey".
Stringed instruments and spoken word parts start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also having its depressive moments and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
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. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tracks also mixing both the old school and modern era's of the genre together.
Synths are also utilized briefly along with some elements of noise also being added into certain sections of the album, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style, acoustic guitars and choirs can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are a concept album based upon a character named Julia and explores themes of violence, abuse, self-harm and her path towards suicide.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Northern Krig and if you are a fan of raw, depressive and old school black metal with elements of noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hostis Humani Generis" "Adraxone" and "Mors Ultima Linea Rerum Est!". 8 out of 10.
