Bifrost where a band from the Netherlands that played Viking black/dark/thrash metal and this is a review of their 1998 album "Mythistory" which was released by Hammerheart Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the keyboards bring a very dark and atmospheric sound to the music, as for the bass playing have a very strong and powerful sound that dominates throughout the recording with some bass leads being utilized at times.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine viking, black and thrash metal together to create their own form of dark metal with a great amount of melody being thrown into the riffing while the lead guitars are very traditional metal sounding guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from blackened thrash metal screams, viking style shouting, deep death metal growls and some clean singing as well as some spoken word parts being used at times, while the lyrics cover Norse Paganism, Witchcraft, Darkness and Nature, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Bifrost where a very great sounding hybrid of viking, black, dark, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The God's Lament" "Soulbound Eternity" "In Nocturno Silencio" and "Dreaming In The Dark". RECOMMENDED BUY.
