Freja are a band from the Netherlands that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Tides" which will be released in April by Babylon Doom Cult Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of deep, angry and high pitched sounding black metal screams while clear pagan singing can also be heard at times as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some clean playing and synths also being added into certain sections of the album.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of female vocals and as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover persistent energies from ancient myths and the Goddess Freja.
In my opinion Freja are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Scattered Shields" and "Cloaks Of Valor". 8 out of 10.
