Sweden's Greve have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Bleknat Bortom Evig Tid" which will be released on December 6th by Purity Through Fire.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and keyboards are mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs and also gives the recording more of an atmospheric touch.
Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some growls also being utilized at times and one track also adds in a brief use of spoken words.
On this recording Greve brings out a very aggressive and atmospheric style of black metal that is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's Scandinavian tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover darkness and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Greve and if you are a fan of old school and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Livets fjatter brista' and "Bleknat bortom evig tid". 8 out of 10.
