Ulfhednar are a band from Italy that plays a very melodic and aggressive form of black metal with elements of doom and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "II Culto Dell'Agonia".
A very dark sounding prelude starts off the album while also introducing keyboards onto the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. 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.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also adds in a great amount of old school influences. Death metal growls can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and one track also adds in a brief use of clean playing. and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover darkness, inner struggles, life and death themes.
In my opinion Ulfhednar are a very great sounding melodic and old school black metal band with elements of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Alterco" "Famelica brama" and "Ora oscura". 8 out of 10.
