Furze/UTD/Agonia Records/2007 CD Review


  Furze are a 1 man band from Norway that plays a very raw and primitive form of Norwegian satanic black metal mixed in with some doom metal influences and this is a review of their 2007 album "UTD" which was released by Agonia Records.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very strong and tone with riffs that dominate throughout the recording as for the sound effects when they are utilized they bring a very dark and avant garde sound to the music.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast Norwegian style black metal riffs that mix in a lot of doom and thrash metal influences and weird style riffing along with some dark sounding melodies and a brief use of clean playing, while the lead guitars are very raw, chaotic, weird and distorted sounding black metal guitar solos and leads.

Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some deep growls, whispers, spoken word parts and clean singing, while the lyrics cover satanic and abstract themes with one song being written in Norwegian, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Furze are a very great weird sounding and original sounding Norwegian satanic black metal band with a doom metal edge and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Life About My Sabbath" "Demonic Order In The Facist's Hall" and "Goatbreath". RECOMMENDED BUY.
