Dodskold are a band from Sweden that plays a very grim and cold form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Ödesriket" which was released by Pesttanz Klangschmiede.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's Scandinavian style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Melodic vocals are also added on a couple of songs along with one track also introducing acoustic guitars onto the album as well as the music also having its melancholic moments, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and keyboards and throat singing can also be heard on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover darkness, death and melancholy themes.
In my opinion Dodskold are a very great sounding grim and cold black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sista Ridten" " Ty Döden är Lifvets Lön" and "Ödeskväde till Riddersmark". 8 out of 10.
