Dallas, Texas's Krigsgrav have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form of blackened doom metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Stormcaller" which will be released in September by Willowtip Records.
A very slow, dark and heavy doom metal sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the album more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them along with clear singing also being added into certain sections of the album and a couple of songs also add in a small amount of clean playing as well as one track also adding in a brief use of spoken words. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, nature and philosophy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Krigsgrav and if you are a fan of atmospheric blackened doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Huntress Of The Fire Moon" "None Shall Remember Your Name" and "Womb-Death-Dawn". 8 out of 10.
