Blodsgard are a duo from Norway that plays a very raw, atmospheric and melodic of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Requiem" which will be released in December.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album along with some bells and whispers before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of keyboards.
The music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre mixed in with some modern influences, clear vocals and choirs are also utilized at times along with the album also having its atmospheric moments, whispers also return on a later track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover Mythology, Anti Religion and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Blodsgard are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and raw black metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Guds Stumme Tale" "Ledestjerne" and "Requiem". 8 out of 10.
