Vanhelga are a band from Sweden that plays a very raw and primitive from of anti christian black metal with a depressive edge and this is a review of their 2004 demo "Enslaved By God" which was re-issued by D.T.M Productions in the year of 2009.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding with a brief use of clean playing while the lead guitars are very raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar solos and leads that utilize some melody, as for the acoustic guitar which are only utilized briefly they use finger picking and full chords to add to the darkness of the music.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover darkness, occultism, anti Christian, melancholy and hateful themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Vanhelga are a very great sounding raw and primitive black metal with a depressive edge that does not copy other bands from the scene and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Demiurgic Tyranny" and "Tomrum". RECOMMENDED BUY.
