Dodsfard/Oljud (demo III)/2013 EP Review


  This  is  a   review  of  another  recording  from  Dodsfard  with  the  musical  style  going  back  to  being  raw  and  primitive  black  metal  while  keeping  some  experimental  elements  and  the  demo  was  self  released  in  2013  and  called"Oljud  (Demo  III)".

  "Introduktion"  starts  off  with  some  avant  garde  style  clean  guitar  playing  along  with  some  sound  effects  and  distorted  black  metal  guitar  leads  with  low  screams  in  the  background.

  "Dodsfard"  starts  off  with  a  clean  sound  from  the  guitars  which  leads  to  some  distortion  and  grim  sounding  screams  and  then  the  drums  kick  in  along  with  some  slow  and  dark  sounding  black  metal  riffs  before  getting  faster  and  more  primitive  with  blast  beats  as  well  as  some  primitive  guitar  leads  before  going  back  to  the  slow  and  clean  parts.

  "Trollen"  starts  out  with  clean  playing  from  the  guitars  and  dark  sounding  avant  garde  ambient  synths  keeping  the  same  sound  throughout  the  song.

  "Spoken"  starts  off  with  background  noises  and  tortured  sounding  screams  before  the  avant  garde  elements  make  their  way  in  the  music.

  "Maulsoleum"  starts  off  with  a  classical  sounding  synth  before  going  into  a  more  atmospheric  and  ambient  direction.

  "Slottet"  starts  off  with  some  distortion  before  heading  off  into  drums,  grim  screams  and  slow,  primitive  black  metal  riffing  while  also  adding  in  some  avant  garde  synths  which  leads  to  the  guitars  and  drums  getting  faster  as  well  as  mixing  in  distorted  parts.

  Song  titles  are  in  their  native  tongue  and  seem  to  cover  dark  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  raw  and  primitive sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Dodsfard  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  primitive  black  metal  mixed  with  experimental,  you  should  check  out  this  demo.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dodfard"  and  "Slottet".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
