This is another review of a demo from Sweden'ss DÖMD which continues the raw style of black metal from his previous releases and the ep was self released in 2021 and called "Vitastjärnas dröm".
A very heavy and raw sound starts off the demo while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard along with the music also bringing in a great amount of 90's influences and all of the drum beats are programmed.
The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while one of the tracks also adds un a brief use of clean playing. A brief use of melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with one track also adding in a small amount of movie samples before returning back to a heavier direction, clean vocals can also be heard briefly.
On this recording DÖMD remains true to the raw style of black metal that he has established on previous releases as well as adding in some newer elements. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover the Heathen Heritage of Gotland, The Gotlandic People and the resistance against the Christening of the nation and some of their mythology.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from DÖMD and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Allt är i ringar bundet" and "Ett svart hål i verkligheten". 8 out of 10.
