Wulfheim are a band from Spain that plays a very heavy, brutal, fast, raw and primitive form of black metal with an atmospheric edge and this is a review of their self released 2012 album "Al Svart".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them, as for the synths and sound effects when they are utilized they bring in another dimension of darkness to the music without being a lead instrument.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding mixing in heavy and brutal elements to create a sound of their own with the songs being somewhat long and epic in length, in addition some of the songs have a thrash metal feeling to them and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on this recording except for a small part in a couple of songs and they have somewhat of a melodic tone to them.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams with some deep demonic growls being thrown into the music at times as well as a brief use of clean singing and spoken word parts, while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Norwegian and English with themes that cover darkness, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it while not taking away from t he raw and primitive parts of the music.
In my opinion Wulfheim are a very great sounding heavy, brutal, raw and primitive sounding black metal band with an atmospheric edge and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Silent Chant" "Griefhymn" and "Under A Funeral Moon" which is a Darkthrone cover. RECOMMENDED BUY.
