Terdor are a duo from the Netherlands that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very avant garde and progressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "De Goddeloze Tolgaarder" which will be released in October by Negra Nit.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while both of the tracks that are present on this recording are very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also having its progressive moments and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
At times the music also gets very avant garde sounding along with the solos and leads also being done in a very chaotic style as well as some of the riffing also showing an influence of thrash metal, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in the band members native tongue and cover War, Anti Christianity and Classical Horror themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Terdor and if you are a fan of avant garde and progressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "B". 8 out of 10.
