Khold/Morke Gravers Kammer/Candlelight USA/2004 CD Review


  Khold  are  a  band  from  Norway  that  plays  a  very  mid  paced  form  of  Norwegian  style  black  metal   and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2004  album  "Morke  Gravers  Kammer"  which  was  released  by  Candlelight  USA.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast Norwegian  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  raw and  primitive  sounding  at  times  while  adding  a  great  amount  of  groove  elements  to  the  riffing  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals a re  all  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams,  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in Norwegian  and  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  heavy sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Khold  are  a  very  great  sounding  mid  paced  Norwegian   black  metal  band  with  groove  elements  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "DOD"  "Nihlheimr"  "Opera  Seria"  and  "Kamp".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
